While I'm on a roll, this is my first ace op shop find of 2012, a sweet Victorian name brooch, Alice. I did some research on this and they were popular in the 1880's to the 1920's. The plainer ones were given to the servants as gifts whilst the more detailed ones were given as sweetheart brooches. There was a strong botanical and Japanese influence during this period which would explain the fan. I'd love to know the history of Alice. Check out these other examples below. Fanny, now there's a name!

This is so nice ! I really like the first and the third (sory for my english, I'm french)
So sweet aren't they? Thx Crouvette.
Hi Neryl, great to see my original photo of the Alice name brooch on your blog would be lovely if you gave me a credit. Thanks and kind regards, Caroline Henney www.bagthejewels.co.uk
So sorry Caroline! I apologise for the lapse of credit. I probably just googled the image and lost the link. I will endeavour to be more thorough next time. Lots of vintage jewellery treats to be found on your site! http://www.bagthejewels.co.uk/vintage-jewellery-etc-antique-and-vintage-jewellery-that-might-tempt-you-75-c.asp
