Lot of 4 antique buttons were likely produced in the 1800s. The buttons each feature one or more turquoise glass bulbs that are mounted on brass, using Tiffany settings. All buttons also have a series of paste jewels decorating the outer edges. The second button has a series of small turquoise bulbs in an openwork setting. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact button sizes. Overall condition: Solid VG+/Excellent..... The buttons may have slight surface wear or tarnishing -- but there are no chips, dents, or other more serious flaws. They are 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 downsized her collection before passing away in 2020, so I helped her sell some of her treasures. 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 experienced 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.
