Vintage 1970s Bone China Oval Brooch Pink Carnation Floral Gold-Tone Lapel Pin

Bone china brooches in this hand-painted floral style are less common than their enamel counterparts.

An oval bone china brooch with a delicate hand-painted carnation motif — a pink bloom with grey-green stems and buds set against a white porcelain ground. The oval is framed by a hammered gold-tone metal bezel. The style and quality are consistent with British bone china giftware of the 1970s–1980s.

No maker's mark is present, which was not unusual for smaller bone china accessories of this period. The piece is most likely attributed to Aynsley, who produced unmarked gift accessories alongside their hallmarked tableware.

The oval format sits neatly on a lapel or collar — the 6 cm width reads as a considered accent rather than a statement. Works well on a linen blazer, a wool coat, or pinned to a scarf. The white and pink palette is versatile across seasons.
