I like these two glass buttons as they are just a bit different. They are in the shape of Chinese Lanterns. One has some decoration while the other is plain. Orange is not a common button colour.

I believe that these buttons were made in Thailand. They are modern and made of some type of plastic each having some sparkly inclusions.

I have just made these two embroidered buttons. They are done on silk fabric and were just a bit of fun to do.

This button is made up of pressed brass centre with three doves pictured on it. It is set into a white metal rim, has a tin back and a metal loop shank. It measures 34 mm.

Here is an Applejuice Bakelite button in an octogen shape. It has been reverse carved and painted in gold in a leafy design which is rather effective. It measures 3 1/2cm and is a sew through type button.

These two buttons are of blue glass, one being a realistic leaf shape with a painted water lily. The other just has a circle of small flowers painted in the middle. They are quite pretty. As often is the case the paint work is a little worn.

Here is a heavy metal button with a brass open work floral design overlaid on the base. It also features three cut steels in the centre of the flowers and has a metal loop shank. It measures 3 cm.

This group of buttons are modern and were made in India. One is of horn with a triangular brass inlay. The two bone buttons have been carved and dyed. They have a certain homemade charm about them I think.

Queen Victoria is featured on this brass button. It has a backmark ” Austrian Make ” and a loop shank. It measures just over 1 1/2cm.

There are two horn buttons here, one being old and the other quite modern. One is a sew through type button with a scrolly border. The modern one has a brass loop shank and features a carved star shape.
