Re: China vintage pin brooch plastic

This looks to be an older piece based on construction.   My guess would be molded celluloid or plastic of some kind.  It does not look carved to me nor does the back show signs of it being bone or ivory.  My guess would be this is from the late 40s to mid 50s.

Though the beauty may be in the butterfly, the struggle and growth occur in the cocoon.

I agree with Sandy. If you clean the back frame with a soft cotton cloth it might reveal an additional Hallmark. It might be Chinese Characters or Western Initials.
