This 2 1-4" mouse brooch has a white rhinestone body, with jet black eyes, ears, nose and dangle tail, on silvertone, by Butler & Wilson (founded 1972) ca 1990s. Alongside a 4 1-2"H mouse paperweight or bookend from Imperial Glass, item #51941 from their Little Pals series ca 1980
Both are cute! I agree with Broochman, I think the brooch takes the cake (or the cheese) :)
Both pieces are so very sweet! I happen to be one of those people that find mice very cute and both of yours are very adorable- especially the little brooch which is so very mouse like looking!
I wonder do you know of the English wood carver Robert Thompson? Known for producing 'Mouseman' furniture from church benches, stools to cheeseboards and as a personal motif would carve a little wooden mouse on each piece he made, your brooch reminds me very much of his pieces!
Many thanks for the love

Thank you Broochman for the kind words, I too found this mouse brooch very appealing, as the British designer Butler & Wilson makes very similar pieces to Dorothy Bauer which you know is one of my faves
Ha MrsT, yes they both could take the cheese lol! Thank you so much for liking them both, I was actually lucky to acquire the blue glass mouse as Imperial more predominantly made this Little Pals line in clear glass. Thanks for the sweet comment!
Aw Eileen what fabulous compliments, thank you so much. I try to vary the animals and colors to keep things fresh, for both CW and myself - mice may not be my fave animals, but in glass & jewelry they don't scare me into saying eek!
Lauren I enjoy mouse items too, and love the oak furniture by Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson with his wonderful little mouse accents - except to own them the cost is astronomical here :( Thank you so much for your super compliments, comparing my mouse brooch to his work is very high praise indeed, I'm so delighted to hear that
Thank you all for the thoughtful love
