This is a lovely early vintage charm (possibly even antique) and has such a cheeky feeling to it!
There is a tiny little mouse poking out of the top of cup. The mouse is so wonderfully detailed to both sides, and its little tail even pokes out of the rim of the cup near the handle!
The charm is made of 9ct gold and is marked '9ct' to the bottom of the cup. Without further hallmarks it's hard to date the charm exactly but we think it's likely 1940s or earlier given its design and gold mark.
The cup is hollow inside and we believe the mouse is hollow in the centre.
The charm weighs approx 0.85g and measures approx 14.3mm tall by approx 13.8mm wide (not including the jump ring) by approx 7.4mm deep. The jump ring is attached to the handle of the cup so it hangs at an angle when worn.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some signs of age and wear including some surface wear to the gold. The gold has a mixture of rose and yellow tones to it. The jump ring is currently pushed closed and is attached to the cup handle so it can move about when worn. Please see photos.
*Please note the antique chain and box pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
