These three modern plastic buttons are very striking. Black and white always stands out well. They have a floral theme, one also having a butterfly. They are sew through type and are quite large at just under 3 1/2 cm.

Here is a rather nice brass button featuring strawberries. It is pierced in several places and looks quite realistic. It has a tin back and measures a little over 2 cm.

This card of buttons under the brand La Petite was bought for me in 2012 in USA by my friend Olwyn. They were made in Italy and are quite pretty with a pearly finish and a gold scrolly trim on the side.

Here is a rather unusual plastic button with a red background and highly domed shape. It is set in a metalized plastic outer and has a daffodil type floral ornamentation in gold.

Here are three Celluloid buttons in a lovely purple colour which is a bit different to the popular earthy colours of the day i.e. the 1930’s. They are four hole sew through type. The card is a reproduction and not relevant to the buttons.

Here is a Fashionwise buttons original card showing four black glass buttons. They have a gold lustre and a pale green pattern on them. They measure 2 1/2cm and have a self shank. The card states Foreign but I do not know in which country they were made.

This group of four Confetti button cards were bought in 2016 and were made in Thailand. They are very bright and colourful with geometric patterns. They were also produced for Blumenthal Lansing Co. of USA which has been operating since the late 1800’s.
