15L Set of Five 1920s Art Deco Black Glass Shank Buttons, 3/8"

A stunning set of five antique buttons guaranteed to delight.

The domed black glass tops on these buttons feature a molded wavy pattern highlighted with gold-to-copper applied color, a look strongly associated with Art Deco button production in Czechoslovakia (Bohemia) during the 1920s–1930s. These buttons were made to be worn on fashionable coats, dresses, and blouses of the period, prized for their modern elegance and luxurious metallic accents.

Black glass buttons with gilt decoration, sculpted designs such as waves or ribbing, and molded self shanks are commonly recognized as authentic Art Deco pieces from this era. Measuring approximately 15 lignes (9.5 mm / 3/8"), their size is typical of smaller garment buttons popular in the interwar years, when richly detailed black glass buttons were at the height of fashion.

With their streamlined form, repeating molded pattern, and striking black-and-gold contrast, these buttons capture the glamour and sophistication that define Art Deco style. They are beautiful, collectible examples of the period’s enduring love for bold contrast and refined design.

Measure approximately 15L, 15 lignes, 9.5 mm, or 3/8".
