Mousie Brooch Handcrafted in the Scottish Borders
Due to the handcrafted nature of our products, pieces may vary slightly to those shown in photographs.
A mischievous wee mouse with a vintage china ear and brass whiskers. He has a curly copper tail and brass feet, made from beaten copper and finished in a crystalline verdigris. Soldered on the back is a silver plated traditional bar brooch catch. He is 50mm from whiskers to toe and comes in a gift box with a signed booklet.
Whilst digging my garden I found old bits of china in the soil, they were like pieces of buried treasure to me. So I started making these little beasties with them using some scraps of copper from my husband’s workshop. Now I search around antique and vintage shops looking for chipped teacups and lonely saucers to supplement my garden finds.
