MULTI FLOWER Antique Black Glass BUTTON, 1800s Intaglio, Impressed Design, Large

Description: Antique clothing button was probably produced in the 1800s or early 1900s. The button is made of black glass which has an impressed or intaglio design -- the main design is molded on a flat, polished, upper surface. The scene depicted is a series of stylized flowers, with a different flower encircled at the center. There is a brass loop shank embedded in the back. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact sizes of the buttons. Overall condition: Solid VG+..... The button may have light surface wear or dings along the edges -- but there are no cracks, larger chips, or other more serious flaws. It is in very nice shape and it will display quite well. See attached photos for more detail on the condition. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage buttons. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime member of the National Button Society, plus was active in several local button clubs in New York. She is downsizing, so I am helping her sell some of her collection. But I am not familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of button collecting. I try to use various notes she left with the buttons to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, are not terms I am familiar or experience with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
