The button, both functional and decorative, can be deservingly considered an art form on a small scale. Produced for centuries, from almost any material imaginable, these buttons exhibit the artistic talents of jewelers, painters, silversmiths, and glass artisans. This book is a dazzling color array of outstanding examples. Thousands of buttons are featured in over 400 color photographs. Debra Wisniewski, an avid collector, has chosen the most beautiful and fascinating buttons to represent the vast variety available, with no repeats from her first book. Complete descriptions, dates, and current values fill its pages. This unique book showcases all types of materials such as glass, enamel, brass, plastic (including Bakelite), rhinestone, wood, and shell, as well as the amazing pictorials of birds, dogs, cats, insects, people, mythology, and more. All ages and styles are represented in this fascinating guide. PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
This book is the second of Debra Wisniewki's bestselling books, with no repeats from her first volume. Using the same user-friendly format as Volume I, the book includes more studio buttons, paperweights, and newly manufactured buttons. Large photos and colorful pages make the book an eye catcher.
