Bead Vault values the contribution of the Bohemian artisans of last century. The history and heritage of the master glass artists and metal workers is almost gone. At Bead Vault we are endeavouring to continue to give you the pleasure of adornment by offering reproductions of many styles from this period. Old moulds, all handmade by metal engravers are
used today with new glass to create gorgeous buttons. The glass maker uses the moulds by attaching it to a pair of pliers, which is then bolted to the workbench next to the furnace. The artist then hand presses each button by hand, one at a time to create unique pieces of art.After the buttons have been pressed and cleaned, they are painted or washed then baked to keep the finish from peeling off. Each finish gives a different look to the same button.
These buttons have a metal shank attached to the back. They are an older design, invented many years before the single mould of glass with the shank included was made.
size: 36mm 16" deco and 27mm 12"dragonfly
colour: black, purple iris, black/silver x1 each
