Vintage 1950s Reverse‑Carved Hand-Painted Lucite Orchid Brooch - Black Oval Beveled Frame

A lovely example of mid‑century Lucite artistry, this 1950s reverse‑carved brooch showcases two vivid orchids — one in deep red, the other in pink‑violet — painted from within the Lucite for dimensional depth and clarity. The black background intensifies the color, while the transparent beveled edge creates a luminous frame that feels almost glasslike.
This piece carries the quiet refinement of the era: elegant, wearable, and beautifully crafted despite being unsigned. The carving is crisp, the paintwork vibrant, and the overall presence unmistakably vintage.
Very good condition with a secure pin back and smooth, well‑preserved surface.
