Very big vintage 1940s Elliot Handler designed Elzac figural brooch in glazed ceramic backed with lime green Lucite, with metallic raffia braid, and two blue Lucite beads at top and bottom. This exact piece, in a different color combination, is pictured on page 197 of the Brunialtis' "A Tribute to America" with a 1943 Elliot Handler patent reference cited. Elzac produced jewelry from materials such as ceramic, Lucite, fur, feathers, cloth, and wood during World War II when other materials were in short supply.

Great size -- 3 7/8 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide. Excellent condition, which is rare, as these pieces are fragile. The ceramic is undamaged. The surfaces of the two blue stones are slightly rough, and I am not sure if this is original or not; I would tend to think yes since they both have the same finish. Photos enlarged to show detail.
