I am beginning to work my way through my mother's (and a little of my grandmother's) button box. These were labelled as being my grandmothers, so they are definitely old, and are the coolest ones in there. Anyone know anything about these?

Google 'paperweight buttons', if that's still the current term....

Are they glass? (And how big are they?)

One looks a bit "not" round. If so, they are probably hand made, hand blown or something. I'm not an expert on buttons, but these are truly exquisite. Claire
