Optic and Buttons, Imperial   Updated 12/16/2010
Optic and Buttons has a series of narrow flutes topped by a band of small, hexagonal buttons. The rosebowl is probably the most frequently seen shape, the cup and saucer set is quite rare. A number of pieces in this pattern have Imperial's Iron Cross mark.
