A huge vintage 1960s one of a kind handmade 800 silver surrealist modernist Eye design brooch pin by Orno of Warsaw, Poland. Unique design, entirely handmade, and likely a one of a kind piece of wearable art! Orno was a design collective formed in the early 1950s in Warsaw, Poland. They didn't use designer marks for the individual designers of their collective on their jewelry, just the Orno collective mark along with the Polish silver marks. Most of their jewelry was in silver, and the jewelry was produced in small series, and often pieces were unique one of a kind. This brooch is from their early days, probably early to mid 1960s, and is hand fabricated in solid 800 silver with a large oval amber cabochon bezel-set at center. Natural Baltic amber like this one is millions of years old from the Eocene Epoch in the Paleogene period of the history of earth! The design is of a surrealist modernist Eye! In surrealist art, the eye symbolized a threshold or portal between the inner, unconscious mind and the external world. Surrealists used the eye to represent psychic awareness, intuition, and dreams rather than just physical sight. Disembodied eyes challenged the viewer, creating an unsettling dynamic where the artwork appears to watch the observer back. By disrupting normal expectations of sight—such as replacing an iris with a cloudy sky or in this case with a 45 million year old piece of natural amber —artists attacked traditional, rational ways of understanding reality. This thought-provoking modernist statement-sized brooch measures 4" long by just under 1.5" wide by about 3/4" deep at center. It weighs 24 grams total. Marked on the side of the brooch as shown in my photos with the "ORNO" maker mark, also with the Polish silver hallmark used from 1963-1986 for 800 silver, and with the additional Polish government warrant mark. Polish wearable art at its finest! The only one of this design that I've seen in my 45+ year career! Excellent vintage condition.
