| The next example, which is completely unmarked, is probably from the 1890s and seems to have elements of both the Aesthetic Movement and Art Nouveau, not unlike the Shiebler buckle shown earlier. The style is similar to some Shiebler pieces I have seen, but the designs do not seem quite as thoughtful. The oval plaques depict such pretty things as dragonflies, butterflies, cat-tails, etc.
