Category: GLASS & METAL

This button has a disc of black glass with a floral design impressed into it and gold lustre added.  It has been set into a floral border of white metal and is quite different.

This button has a disc of white glass set into a brass cup.

The glass has a textured surface ( there is a name for this type of which I do not know )  and flowers painted on it which are a little worn.  It resembles Petit Point stitchery ) It is really pretty anyway.  It measures a little over 2 cm.

This little button is glass with a floral pattern set in gilt.  It is backmarked Sword Make, British Make and has a rather long shank.  At about 13 mm it is quite small.

Being just under 3 cm this button has a lovely etched brass border.

A small white glass plaque featuring a flower has been inset in the centre.  It has a tin back and brass loop shank.

Here we have a brass button with some areas painted purple.

It has a black glass centre which contrasts nicely.  The brass left showing really adds to the design.  It has a metal loop shank and is just over 2  1/2cm in diameter. A smart button I think.

The centre of this button is black glass with a gold lustre.  It has been set into brass and has a metal loop shank.

This blue glass button is large being 3  1/2cm in diameter.  The white metal floral border is very  decorative, offsetting the  plain  glass nicely.

The unusual shape of these buttons makes them very appealing.  The glass is a beautiful purple/cyclamen colour which blends them nicely with the brass setting.  The group picture is the truest colour.
