Vintage 1980s Handcrafted Ceramic Heart Brooch Earrings Set, Mauve Cobalt

Embrace the bold, artistic glamour of the late 20th century with this magnificent vintage 1980s handcrafted studio ceramic heart brooch and matching drop earrings set. Masterfully hand-sculpted and fired by an independent ceramic artisan during the peak of the 1980s wearable art movement, this coordinated suite makes a phenomenal statement set for any retro wardrobe.
Each piece features an intentionally stylized, elongated asymmetrical heart shape. The smooth, glass-like kiln-fired glaze is layered in a moody color palette of dusty mauve-pink, deep cobalt blue, and glossy jet black. To elevate the abstract watercolor-like panels, the artisan applied hand-painted liquid 24k gold luster overglaze splashes that shimmer beautifully as they catch the light.
The focal statement brooch measures exactly 1.5 inches long by 1.25 inches wide and pins securely to thick winter coat lapels, denim jackets, or vintage scarves. The matching delicate earring hearts measure a comfortable 0.50 inches wide by 0.75 inches long and suspend gracefully from gold-tone fishhook wires. This is a spectacular find for collectors of vintage studio pottery jewelry, lovers of avant-garde 80s fashion, or anyone seeking a unique, artistic statement gift.

Great vintage condition with exceptional structural and cosmetic integrity. The fired ceramic glaze on all three pieces remains incredibly smooth, high-gloss, and vibrant, showing zero clouding, hairline surface crazing, or dull spots. The liquid gold luster highlights are bright and reflective. Given the delicate nature of wearable pottery, all edges are remarkably clean and free of chips, flea-bites, or fractures. The earring wire loops are secure, and the rear brooch pin mechanism operates smoothly.
