Plumb Crazy Vintage is run by me, Joan Plumb. I've always loved the thrill of the hunt — the estate sale early mornings, the tucked-away antique malls, the joy of spotting something special that deserves a second life. I collect vintage, antique, and delightfully unique pieces that have character and make me smile. Every piece in the shop is chosen by hand and ready for a new home. I pack with care and ship the first business day after purchase. Your purchase helps fund my local food bank.
Sweet vintage pewter mouse (woodland character) perched on a sparkling natural pyrite cluster – a classic piece of 70s-80s rock-shop folk art!
Unsigned but possibly by J Ritter
Hand-cast pewter mouse with oversized floppy ears, long arms and legs draped over a branch, sweet expressive face
Mounted securely on a natural “fool’s gold” pyrite base with bright brassy-gold cubic crystals and natural matrix
Nice contrast between the soft matte pewter and the glittery mineral – exactly like the vintage pewter-on-pyrite gnomes, miners and clowns sold in museum shops
Condition: Excellent vintage. Pewter has a soft aged patina with great bark-like texture detail, no breaks or bends. Pyrite is solid with good cube formation and natural sparkle (a little matrix dust in crevices, as found). See all photos – they are the best description.
Perfect for a desk, windowsill, or crystal shelf. Mice are great luck symbols, and pyrite is known as the stone of abundance – makes a thoughtful gift for a collector, teacher, or anyone who loves miniatures
