Anyone in the mood for an artichoke? This large moss-tone button in Bakelite looks like a strangely contorted specimen of the green vegetable—replete with five interlocking leaves and a handsome design of shallow etchings. I couldn't resist snapping up this bizarro find when I first laid eyes on it in my friend Doreen's button shop earlier this year. It's a wonderfully exotic coat button, likely dating back to the 1930's. We're getting awfully close to Turkey Day in the USA, but here's something for the vegetarians.
