RARE Vintage Brown Bakelite Button with a Molded Faux Green Jade Glass Center of Genghis Kahn Warrior Oriental riding a horse, with Pagoda background. Fired green enamel paint over the glass, I believe. About 1.5" with loop shank. Excellent condition. Tests as Bakelite using simichrome.
Research info - GENGHIS KHAN Warrior with army, molded Lalique? Glass simulating green jade. A similar button is listed in The Big Book of Buttons First Edition 1981 (see last picture). Says that similar style buttons were made with Lalique glass in the 20's. Since this glass is of a similar mold and on a 30s Bakelite casing, it could be Lalique glass. Not guaranteed. Still a rare button.
