All of the buttons I'm posting this week are Bakelite apple juice buttons with painted features. Most of the painted features depict various flowers and here's a bright eyeful of just that: Flowers aplenty. Gardens galore. The large, central button has been carved along the bottom with two blossoms. These carved areas were painted a brilliant shade of red that gives the floral design a strikingly Japanese look. The smaller four buttons, also carved with flowers underneath, have been painted green, red and a splash of yellow. They too are quite eye-catching with their vintage prettiness and picturesque quality. These buttons go back nearly a hundred years. All together, I consider them to be a flowerbed of the 1920's.
