Black glass buttons gained popularity in 1860’s when Queen Victoria used jet buttons on her mourning clothing. Most glass buttons are sometimes called jet, but glass buttons were more accessible to the masses. These black glass buttons have lovely varied designs from gold detailing & carvings. They have some chips & scratches due to their use and age (1870’s - 1914)… but charming nonetheless!
