An arresting 18th century piece. This cross features sparkling green and white paste, magnificently arranged in the shape of the cross of the Order of Aviz. The Order of Aviz is a Portuguese order of chivalry that dates to 1146. This piece was made around 1760 and is an excellent example of the use of paste in 18th-century jewellery. The piece is wonderfully constructed: the paste is eye-catching and striking. A notable 20th century recipient of the cross of the Order of Aviz is Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl of Burma, the uncle of Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh.
