Although Bakelite has been superseded by plastics such as Lucite, many lovers of vintage jewelry and accessories are still combing the vintage scene for the last available pieces of this era.
Where women had once embroidered their reticules with flowers, many of the clear Lucite bags of the 1950s were in their turn hand-painted in floral patterns, among other options.
