These deep green buttons found me recently and I was psyched to see that they tested positive for Bakelite—probably Prystal Bakelite since they are definitely transparent in a tone that leans toward teal, but stays on the green side. Carved with an art deco motif that reminds me of flower buds just starting to bloom, these buttons convey the stylized floral craze of 1920's elegance.
