Description from the seller
Collection of 75 Vintage Bohemian Glass Buttons – Two-Tone Blue Reverse Enamel – Victorian Era - 75 Pieces
A remarkable and highly collectible "Artisan Lot" consisting of 75 original vintage 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.
These are exquisite "Reverse Painted" buttons. 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.
A sophisticated Two-Tone Blue palette featuring:
-Deep Royal/Sapphire Blue, concentrated in the central "eye" and the deep grooves of the swirl.
-Luminous Aqua/Sky Blue, shimmering along the outer radial ridges, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
High-quality Bohemian Molded Crystal Glass.
75 pieces, an exceptionally large, uniform set.
New Old Stock. Pristine vintage condition. The enamel backing is remarkably well-preserved, maintaining the original vibrancy and luster without the typical "peeling" seen in lesser-quality vintage items.
Strong custom made packing, registered shipping.
