About the Item
Celebrate the charm of vintage whimsy with this beautifully crafted Vintage Bakelite Butterscotch Hand Brooch, a striking collectible piece from the mid-20th century. Expertly carved from genuine butterscotch Bakelite, this brooch features a delicate, sculptural hand—gracefully poised with fine detailing in the fingers and wrist, often depicted holding a flower, fan, or object of symbolic meaning (varies by piece). The warm, golden tone of the Bakelite evokes the soft glow of aged honey, while its smooth, glossy finish enhances the dimensional carving and nostalgic appeal.
Highly sought after by collectors, figural Bakelite brooches like this one were popular in the 1930s and 1940s, reflecting the era’s love for novelty accessories and bold personal style. This brooch is secured with a sturdy vintage pin clasp, and its excellent condition speaks to the care it has received over the decades.
Whether pinned to a lapel, scarf, or vintage dress, this carved hand brooch adds a dash of vintage flair, making it a delightful gift for jewelry lovers, collectors, or anyone drawn to the charm of retro fashion.
A timeless statement piece with personality and history—full of character, craftsmanship, and mid-century magic.
