Beautiful vintage circa 1930s high quality mother-of-pearl buttons with & iridescent shimmerb. Please refer to the photos for both front and back views. 
Each button measures approximately 22mm and with 2 holes. These buttons are also quite thick circa 22.8mm. Suitable for jackets, skirts & trousers. Probably not suitable for lightweight delicate fabrics. Please note that slight variations in size and shape may occur due to the nature of production and the shell. Made from genuine mother-of-pearl, these roundish buttons have a unique, high-quality finish and timeless appeal.
These buttons were made in Germany at a former factory specialising in high quality (& thicker shell) mother of pearl buttons. The majority of the buttons sourced from there were from the turn of the 20th century to circa 1960s. Due to the manufacturing processes at the time the buttons are less uniform and appear a little more rustic than contemporary buttons and they are often thicker than contemporary buttons. Contemporary mother of pearl buttons tend to be much thinner and backed onto plastic to reinforce them. So the shape and even the thickness of these vintage buttons may vary with each button. In some of the photos it may look like the buttons have chips, these are not chips but have smooth edges and add to the character of the buttons.
