16L 1920s Egyptomania Cobalt Blue Buttons 3/8" (Set of 2)

Capture the exotic allure of the Roaring Twenties with this rare pair of vintage buttons! Crafted in Czechoslovakia (the renowned Jablonec/Gablonz region, powerhouse of Bohemian glass artistry), these round molded glass gems feature a deep, glowing cobalt blue base that shimmers like lapis lazuli—evoking the treasures of ancient Egypt.

Hand-painted enamel accents in rich gold create concentric geometric borders and cartouche-like rings, dotted with vibrant red and green enamel spots for a luxurious, jewel-toned effect. Inspired by the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, the design channels Egyptian Revival motifs—think pharaonic sun disks, hieroglyphic borders, and bold symmetry—blended seamlessly with Art Deco's modern elegance and glamour.

Finished with sturdy self shanks (integrated molded posts for smooth, low-profile sewing—no metal hardware), measuring approximately 16 lignes (10.1 mm / 3/8 inch), they're perfect for blouses, dresses, collars, vintage restorations, doll clothing, jewelry making, or as collector highlights.

In excellent vintage condition: intense cobalt color, crisp hand-painted enamel. A fabulous slice of 1920s Egyptomania—big exotic style in a petite package!

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