On this piece
☉
Butterscotch Bakelite, carved deep in an Art Nouveau line, and worked by hand rather than molded — you can read it in the undercuts, where the tool had to go back in and around. The color is the one collectors chase: warm, even, and lit from within when it catches a window. It is unsigned, as almost all carved Bakelite is, and was tested with Simichrome with a strong positive reaction. A size 7.5, measuring 2.5 inches from inside edge to inside edge, and a full 1.5 inches wide across the band. Excellent condition, and one of a kind by the nature of hand carving.
