One Quarter Red


Art deco buttons are my favorites and here's one of them. The base is red Bakelite while the top layer is a faux metal resin that's been etched away between noon and 3:00 to reveal one quarter of the cherry Bakelite beneath. Simple and yet sophisticated, the art deco craze played with geometric shapes and presented them in boldly unusual styles. I'd say this button is a prime example.
