Description from the seller
Rare Collection of 24 Bohemian Glass Buttons – Victorian Era & Art Deco - Jablonec
A remarkable, an exceptional thematic and highly collectible "Artisan Lot" consisting of 24 authentic glass buttons. These pieces originate from the historic glass-making region of Jablonec, Bohemia (formerly Czechoslovakia), the world's premier center for luxury glass buttons during the Late 19th to Mid 20th century. This collection spans the 1890s to the 1920s and features rare examples of technical mastery and period design.
The collection includes:
-Full set of 12 exquisite "Reverse Painted" buttons: Stunning clear glass buttons with a vibrant orange/red, creating a brilliant "halo" effect when catching the light. The intricate "Sunburst" or "Radial Swirl" pattern was pressed into the glass, and the coloration was applied to the reverse side using a specialized Cold Enamel (Lacquer) technique. The translucent glass acts as a magnifying lens, creating a striking 3D effect. The light reflects through the glass to reveal the dual-tone enamel beneath.
-Rare Pictorial Button (1 piece): A small, intricate button featuring hand-painted enamel decoration (pink blossoms and black accents), highly sought after by collectors.
-Floral Clear Glass (7 pieces): Large and medium-sized buttons with embossed floral patterns (daisies/poppies) and frosted details.
-Luster & Colored Glass: Including a deep ruby/claret button, a bright translucent red, and a metallic/silvered button with a floral motif.
High-quality Bohemian crystal glass. Molded glass, hand-painted enamel, Luster and colored, Cold Enamel (Lacquer) technique.
Excellent vintage condition (New Old Stock). The buttons retain their original brilliance without significant chips or cracks. The metal shanks on the reverse are secure and functional.
Strong custom made packing, registered shipping.
