27L Set of Five Mid-Century Small Foiled Hobnail Glass Shank Buttons, 11/16"

Vintage Mid-Century Set of 5 Clear Hobnail Glass Shank Buttons – Sparkling Foiled Backs, 27L (17mm) 11/16" (close to 3/4").

Enhance your sewing, jewelry-making, or vintage restoration projects with this beautiful set of five matching clear glass shank buttons. Each octagonal button features a stunning hobnail texture with hundreds of tiny raised studs that catch and refract light, creating a dazzling, crystal-like effect. The foiled backs add a subtle reflective shimmer, giving the buttons a luxurious, jewel-like quality reminiscent of antique costume jewelry.

These mid-century buttons most likely date from the 1940s to 1960s and are believed to originate from Czechoslovakia, a historic center of Bohemian glass button production. The combination of hobnail texture, foiled backs, and self shanks is typical of decorative glass buttons produced in this era.

Measuring approximately 27 lignes, 17.1 mm in diameter (around 11/16 inch, close to 3/4"), these buttons are in excellent vintage condition with no chips or damage. Moderate wear on the metallic foiled backs is normal for this type of button and does not detract from their overall appeal. This wear is considered natural patina and is common among vintage glass buttons, often enhancing their authenticity. Serious damage, such as cracked glass, loose rhinestones, or heavily corroded shanks, is not present.

These versatile buttons are perfect for high-end garment repairs, artisan crafts, bridal wear, or for creating statement jewelry like earrings or pendants. They are a collectible item for fans of Czech or Bohemian glass buttons and anyone who appreciates mid-century sparkle.
