The half-moon carved along the right side of this masterstroke is snuggled up to a wildly sculpted egg (at the left). Here we gaze upon one of my prettiest cherry-red buttons. A major showstopper, I always think of it as an eccentric Easter egg next to a less ornate crescent. Just look at the chiseling that went into "the egg side" of this lavish oddity! A button like this wouldn't be named Sue or Jane or Lou. Try Zoya or Dominika or Anastasiya. This Bakelite button is wickedly beautiful, so much so that I own two of them. The color of the other is rootbeer. A must-have for the vintage button saver, circa 1925.
