Here is a cold enamel button in the Art Nouveau style. It is a very pleasing design with deep green enamel offsetting the floral design on a white background. Although it is not as showy as the full gloss enamels it is still a favourite of mine. I have an article and photograph from a 2012 NBB Journal showing a three piece Silk Pongee Suit with enamel buttons circa 1900 – 1906. There are two different designs used but those used on the cuffs are identical design to this button only in another colour scheme. I was really thrilled to find this article. It is nice to see what garment the buttons are used on.
