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.   Here is a little more information about Lea Stein and her fabulous and whimsical jewellery..... LEA STEIN  was born in Paris in 1931 and worked as a dress designer. She began making her now famous Jewellery when her  husband, Fernand Steinberger, ( a Plastics Chemist ) discovered a process of laminating cellulose acetate to create a unique range of colours & patterns. Buttons for her frocks were their first products; followed by brooches, bangles and earrings. The factory was forced to close in the 1980’s but has since re-opened much to the relief of costume jewellery collectors and Lea Stein fans. Lea Stein loves to produce designs based on animals and flow
