1960's Brooch - Lucky White Heather signed Exquisite (Sold)

Here we have a  nice little collectable signed 'Exquisite' brooch from the 1960's.  This  pin shows a bunch of lucky white heather with a traditional plaid ribbon threaded around it.  The flowers have been hand decorated in cold enamelling with white tips and green fronds and the plaid ribbon has touches of red.  The brooch has a goldtone finish.   The 'Exquisite'  Jewellery Company used to advertise and market their pieces  with a flyer leaflet which says " These Scottish Souvenir Brooches have been specially designed for us and are protected under the following Registered Design Nos: 905226,905227, and 905225." This means that these souvenir  designs date from 1962.  The Scottish collection was retailed through a showroom at Hope Street, Glasgow but the Exquisite Company's factory was based in Solihull, Warwickshire.  The little white heather pin measures approx 1.5 ins in length and is approx 2 inches wide. It fastens with a secure roll over type clasp.   This sweet  vintage floral brooch would be great fun to wear on a lapel or hat or on a plaid shawl for Burn's Night!
