Denton vintage costume jewelry
English antique bone china flower brooch carries the charm of the past and past eras. In Victorian England and Europe, many flowers had deep symbolic meaning. Such spectacular jewelry with precise detailing, painted and created by hand, is individual and unique. Undoubtedly, such brooch can be an exclusive gift or a worthy part of a vintage jewelry collection.
Traditionally, many English companies, such as Cara China, Aynsley Fine Bone, Coalport China Co, Crown Staffordshire China Co, Bone China Crafts Co, Paragon China Co, and Denton China Co produced jewelry in addition to china tableware.
The history of the British porcelain company Denton China began immediately after the end of the Second World War, in 1945. Initially, it was a family business of D M Lawson and Herbert Lawson, a former decorator and pottery wholesaler from Staffordshire. After his death in 1949, D. M. Lawson continued the business and worked until 1968. Previously Denton China mainly made bone china “fantasies” – flower arrangements, birds, brooches, earrings, and wicker baskets.
Noteworthy, in December 1968, a large English porcelain company John Aynsley & Sons Ltd. bought Denton and re-labeled its products to Aynsley.
