The Fox and the Grapes · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: The Fox and the Grapes
Description: 1950? One small FG Czech glass moonglow button, 1" in diameter, showing a fox, a trellis, a leaf, and grapes. Wire loop shank. $6 from Kathy Hoppe at B'gosh Buttons, Oshkosh, WI, Feb.,' 00.

The background of this unusual button is a milky blue. Out of it is a raised scene painted in gold. Other buttons bought in the same Dutch auction include Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and Frogs and a Cart. The latter has at least three frogs. So, apparently, it is not the Aesopic fable of the two frogs, one of whom lived on the road.
