Here are three Lithograph waistcoat buttons featuring ladies in large hats. I’m sure those hats would be most uncomfortable. I think they would have been part of a set of six originally.

This Antler button is rather small at just under 1 1/2 cm. It has a silver escutcheon depicting an acorn and oak leaf which is quite detailed. It has a metal loop shank.

This is a glass paperweight button. It is a lovely rich blue with white flowers and a pink bow. It has a metal loop shank and overall is a rather nice button.

These two plastic buttons were painted in England by Edith and Alan Brooks during the 1960’s – 70’s period. They were often painted in sets of six of a set theme. These are the only two that I have in my collection.

Here are three brightly coloured coconut shell buttons. They each have a cold plastic enamel coating and feature tiny white flowers. They are all sew through type buttons.

Here are three more Ceramic buttons made in South Africa for Incomparable Buttons. Their designs are quite different. The money from their proceeds goes back to the village ladies who have made them.

These two ceramic buttons were handmade by South African village ladies. They were sold under the name Incomparable Buttons and are mainly available in craft shops. They are quite unique.

These two modern buttons are clear plastic realistics depicting a pansy. They would need to be on a coloured fabric to show up the design.

This Mother of Pearl button has been nicely carved with flowers and leaves in a nice design. It is a sew through type and measures 2 1/2cm.

Here is a new button card which I have just purchased. The buttons were made in China and are a very deep clear plastic. The bottom has been coloured green with some small gold metallic flakes added. It gives a great effect when viewing from the top. They have a metal loop shank.
