LEA STEIN Great Beak Bird Brooch (SOLD)
A hard to find example of the wonderful work of celebrated Parisian jewelry designer Lea Stein! This Great Beak Bird pin in shades of green white is so stylish. Made from layers of rhodoid and cellulose acetate with some acrylic lucite this bird is a collectable item for anyone who loves bakelite and other plastic jewellery. The Great Beak Bird is a generous size. He is 10.5 cms from the tip of his tail to the tip of his beak, 6.5 cms from the top of his head to the end of his legs and the body section has a diameter of 4.2cms. The darker green and white layers have a crackled effect and the white area is pearlised so appears a bit like mother of pearl shell. The wings are see-through light green acrylic and the eye is a little striped ball - most beady. This collectable retro style brooch has the wishbone shaped white metal pin with roll over 'c' clasp bearing the 'Lea Stein Paris' mark. Lea Stein's brooches always sit beautifully and the lightness of the plastics ensure they are suitable for your lighter fabrics like linen but they are equally at home on the lapel of a heavy winter coat. This vintage style brooch is a contemporary design from Lea Stein who is famed for her jewellery, particularly her animal designs which have featured cats, foxes, dogs, birds and many other things over her history.
