Matte stoneware in grey-white, with darker-toned mane and muzzle detail sculpted in relief. The \"Made in England\" sticker on the reverse places it as a domestic pottery piece, likely 1950s–1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-dimensional modelling is carefully done — the animal's posture, haunch, and facial expression are all rendered with character. These small figural ceramic pieces sat at the edge between souvenir craft and wearable object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall enough for a collar or lapel without overwhelming. Works on knitwear, a wool coat, or a linen shirt. The matte grey-white tone sits neutrally against most colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Brooch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Mid-century, circa 1950s–1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Ceramic, matte stoneware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 4 × 2 × 1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked: Yes — \"Made in England\" sticker on reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Pin back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Animal, Figural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent · No chips or surface damage visible; ceramic intact throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rare Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53852886761809,"sku":"RR-0174","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/6667\/9633\/files\/20260524_201231.jpg?v=1779656020","url":"https:\/\/therareroom.co.uk\/products\/vintage-ceramic-donkey-brooch-figural-animal-lapel-pin-england-mid-century-1950s","provider":"The Rare Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
