Vintage Iridescent Dichroic Glass & Abalone Mask Brooch, Signed Modernist, 3.5”
Stunning vintage modernist brooch featuring a sculptural silver-tone mask framed by iridescent dichroic glass and natural abalone shell. The wings shimmer with changing hues of violet, teal, and emerald green—each movement catching the light like stained glass. A true example of wearable art, this signed studio piece reflects the craftsmanship and creativity of late 20th-century artisan jewelry.
The brooch is artist-signed on the reverse (signature partially worn) and remains in excellent vintage condition with minimal surface wear.
