CARNIVAL  GLASS  BUTTONS – Part 1

While some have been attached to metal backing and worn as pins, the basic black glass button with blue/green iridescence in satin finish over molded design; describes the overall basics of these self-shank buttons from Czechoslovakia, circa pre -1940s era. The finely detailed designs on some buttons are intrinsically elegant!
Collectors of these small works of art have a wide array to select from. One notable attraction for anyone with limited space for display; quite a number of them would fit into a drawer, particularly when mounted (attached) to smooth-surface cardboard.
Accounts read over the years about their manufacture, indicate many of them to have come from Europe more than a century ago.

Dean & Diane Fry – 11-10

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
Preach the word!
Be ready in season and out of season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires,
Because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
And they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
(2 Timothy 4:1-5)
