This circa 1940s–50s vintage red glass button lot features a bold array of geometric designs, with some accented by silver luster detailing. The collection reflects a range of Art Deco to early Mid-Century Modern influences, showcasing crisp molded patterns and vibrant red tones that capture the era’s flair for dramatic, structured ornamentation.
Crafted from glass with integrated molded shanks, these buttons were likely produced in post-war Europe or Japan, where manufacturers embraced modernist aesthetics in decorative accessories. Their size and visual impact make them ideal for statement garments, restoration projects, or display in a curated collection.

This lot of glass buttons exhibits general wear consistent with age, with some showing minor chips along the edges, surface wear, and possibly oxidation. The molded details remain visible, though certain areas display natural patina from long-term storage and handling. As with many vintage glass buttons, signs of wear may include scratches, small dents, staining, rust, oxidation, and slight edge imperfections.
