Vintage Swoboda Orange Bird Nest Brooch - Painted Bone Bird & Faux Pearl Eggs

A charming mid‑century figural brooch by Swoboda, crafted in the 1960s–1970s and signed on the reverse (the mark is faint and best seen with a loupe). The design features a hand‑painted orange bone bird perched on a textured gold‑tone branch, watching over a nest filled with three faux pearl eggs. Surrounding the nest are coral‑colored tumbled stone chips, likely rhodochrosite or similar quartz, consistent with Swoboda’s signature use of semi‑precious chips in their nature‑themed pieces.
The brooch is wonderfully dimensional, with warm color contrast and the whimsical storytelling Swoboda collectors love.
Very good vintage condition with no missing stones, secure clasp, and intact enamel.
