Description from the seller

For sale is,without a reserve price, a magnificent vintage and rare brooch, crafted from bakelite by the renowned French designer Léa Stein.
Léa Stein (born 11 February 1936) is a French artist and accessories maker, known for her compressed plastic buttons, brooches and bracelets. She is often hailed as "the most notable and innovative designer of plastic jewelry of the 20th century.
This is from the early years, before she started to sign her brooches. It is in very good condition despite its age (around 1968-1970). This series is highly sought after. Most of Léa Stein pieces were handmade.
Some early brooches,like this one, had v-shaped clasps without the 'Lea Stein' inscription.
This brooche is part of Lea Stein serigraphy brooches. The serigraphy brooches are from the 1960s and ’70s and are almost always unsigned. The most collectable are the romantic or nostalgic female portraits.
It is a true collector's item, emblematic of the refined style of the late 1960s. A beautiful addition to your vintage jewelry collection.
Dimensions: 5,3 x 2,2cm
Please take a good look at the photos, they are an important part of the description.
I will pack and ship the package with great care.
