This Realistic button is Mother of Pearl and is modern. It is in the form of a flower and has a brass loop shank. It measures 4 cm so is quite large.

Here are three transfer printed porcelain buttons in an oval shape. Two are floral designs, one with a bird. The other one features two children by the seaside. They have a plastic loop shank attached to the back. They would be more decorative than functional.

This modern metal button in the shape of a heart features a lady’s face in a mauve flower like bonnet. It is quite different but I do not know what type of garment it would suit. Maybe it is just for decorative purposes only.

These three little buttons are typical Austrian tinies being 1 cm in diameter. They have tan celluloid with brown velvet set in metal with cut steel trim. They have a domed japanned back.
