Rare Vintage Soviet Expo Exhibition Jewelry Box Plastic USSR 1960s
About this piece
A striking Soviet-era decorative box from the 1960s, rendered in deep burgundy and cream plastic with a geometric starburst pattern around the rim and inset panels. The lid is inlaid with a darker burgundy disc bearing a centred Soviet medal or commemorative emblem, surrounded by repeating triangular rays in relief. The base features prominent vertical ribbing that catches the light beautifully.
This appears to be a commemorative piece, possibly produced for a Soviet expo or exhibition — the kind of functional yet proudly decorative object the USSR excelled at manufacturing. The plastic moulding is crisp and well-preserved, though the surface shows light wear consistent with age and gentle use.
The interplay between the translucent burgundy inlay and the opaque cream panels creates a jewel-like quality. A fine example of Soviet design sensibility applied to everyday luxury goods.
