François Schoenlaub for Guillemette L'Hoir Paris 'Memphis Milano' Sky Blue White Polka Dotted Domed Saucer Clip-on Earrings
Materials and Features:
Iconic Memphis Milano Mushroom Saucer Engineering: A celebrated technical signature of the L'Hoir workshop featuring an interlocking multi-tiered configuration where the central high-domed centerpiece is precision seated into a primary saucer platter.
Intarsia Polka Dot Pigmentation: The soft sky blue dots exhibit a clean, permanent color saturation achieved by embedding distinct contrast-colored elements deep into the opaque milk-white substrate before final curvature shaping.
Authentic Studio Material DNA: Structural analysis reveals a heavy, substantial density and smooth surface composition characteristic of traditional high-pressure baked studio plastics rather than modern molded resins.
High Impact Saucer Silhouette: A bold 1.375-inch statement design featuring an oversized circular metal backplate attached to a mechanical clip-on assembly designed to distribute weight evenly.
Type: Clip-on (Oversized round metal stabilizing plates with hinged mechanical paddle clips)
Age/Origin: Circa 1984 – 1986 / Paris, France
Marks: Unmarked (Attributed to Guillemette L'Hoir Paris / François Schoenlaub based on documented iconic saucer shape, oversized signature backplates, and material composition)
Measurements:
Weight: 16.9g (including findings)
