Description

This unique, vintage necklace features a porcelain faucet button painted with a magenta and gold cherry blossom in a detailed silver setting on a linked silver chain.  The donor included the story of this one-of-a-kind piece: "Moen Faucets of long ago, used to give a selection of faucet 'buttons' to insert in the bathroom sink's faucet. When I was 19, I worked at a plumbing place. This 'button' was given to me, so I make a necklace out of it. I'm now 63." What a beautiful piece of history!

This is a Live Event Item.
