Vintage Red Textured Dome Button

This item is a circular, domed button featuring a vibrant reddish-pink or cherry red color. It is characterized by its distinctive repeating scale or 'honeycomb' surface pattern, where small indented oval shapes create a consistent geometric texture across the entire convex face. The button appears to be made from a molded synthetic material, likely a vintage plastic such as Lucite, Bakelite, or a high-density polyester resin commonly used in mid-20th-century garment manufacturing. Its design suggests a mid-century modern aesthetic, likely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. The surface shows minor signs of aging, including faint micro-scratches and slight dullness in the finish, which is typical for a used vintage fastener. There are no immediate maker's marks visible on the front face, and the back is not shown, though it would typically feature a shank or sew-through holes. The craftsmanship is uniform, indicating a mass-produced but high-quality industrial fashion component intended for heavy coats or statement knitwear.
