These two glass buttons are small and ball shaped with a metal loop shank.  On the top they have a coloured incised design of flowers on a gold background.  They are quite colourful.

These three glass buttons seem to have a Japanese influence in the design painted on them with writing symbols too.

They really took my fancy with their bright colours.  They have a metal four way box shank and measure just under 1  1/2cm.

This little group of glass buttons are a greyish mauve colour.

One has gold lustre and two have silver.  The one with the flower like design has three holes which is a little unusual.  Apart from the one with the gold which is smaller, they are all 1  1/2cm in diameter.

What a lovely bright group of glass buttons with a swirly pattern. They look so different because of all the various colour combinations painted on them but are in fact all the same design.  The base glass colour is different on them too.

They are just over 2  1/2 cm in diameter and have a metal four way box shank. I guess they could be from the 1920’s.

This group of small glass buttons are bright and cheery with a floral design on a white background.  They measure 1 cm in diameter.

These tiny fawn glass buttons were on this little piece of pleated fine fabric when I bought them and I thought it wise to leave them so.

They are just 1/2 cm in diameter. How fiddly to do them up.

Delicate is how I would describe these glass buttons.

They have a kind of stripey look in the glass but otherwise are quite plain..  They are in the shape of a shell.

This realistic glass flowers button has been painted in mauves and purples.

It would be really nice if the paintwork was in better condition but I got it in an opp shop so didn’t pay much for it.

This yellow glass button is nice and bright and quite pretty with the band of white enamel and little flowers.

It has a four way metal box shank and is an unusual shape.  Yellow glass buttons are not as common as other colours; probably like orange, not being a popular colour.  To me though it is a happy colour and would look lovely on the right garment.

This button with a combination of grey and green with some gold has a pleasing Art Nouveau design.

It has a metal four way box shank making it quite old. It is just under 2 cm.
