16L Set of Two 1960-70s Small Blue Czech Glass Shank Buttons, 3/8"

Set of two vintage blue dome glass buttons with tunnel shanks, dating to the 1960s–early 1970s. These buttons are made of true glass, not plastic, with a rich turquoise-blue color that shows lovely depth, slight translucency, and natural internal speckles and swirls typical of mid-century pressed glass production.

Measure approximately 16L, 16 lignes, 10.1 mm, or 3/8".

Each button has a smooth, glossy, rounded dome or ball shape with a diagonal drilled tunnel shank, allowing for secure, low-profile sewing without any metal parts. This tunnel shank construction became especially common in post-WWII European glass button making and is a strong indicator of mid-century origin.

The color, glass quality, and construction point to Czechoslovakia, most likely the Jablonec nad Nisou (Gablonz) region, which dominated world glass button production throughout the 20th century. Simple solid-color dome buttons like these were widely exported during the 1960s and early 1970s for blouses, dresses, and everyday fashion.

Measures approximately 16 lignes, 10.1 mm, or 3/8 inch in diameter. The pair is well matched and in excellent vintage condition, with bright even color, glossy polish, and no chips or cracks.

A timeless and versatile pair of mid-century Czech glass buttons, perfect for vintage sewing, garment restoration, doll clothing, jewelry accents, or for collectors who appreciate authentic Bohemian glass craftsmanship.
