Not your average doodad, here's a lavish button for an empress. It may look like a chunk of wet glass, but this is indeed a Bakelite button—polished to a sensational gleam. Look at the style built into this thing! A glossy licorice vision, this relic of the Jazz Age puts forth an art deco mystique with carved furrows and liquid curves. So hypnotic! It's like gazing into an enchanted inkwell. Circa 1930.
