Unusual lace top

Hi,
I would appreciate your input on this lace top. I’m not even sure it’s vintage, but the craftsmanship is so amazing and the buttons so fussy that I find it hard to believe that it’s modern. The lace has silk fabric inserts and the buttons are covered with fabric, possibly silk. There are no labels of any kind. Picture 3 is of the colllar.

I also thought 1940s, though I'm not an expert so don't take that as a definitive opinion. I have a 1940s blouse sewing pattern whose silhouette is just about identical, except it does have shoulder pads and doesn't have that kind of button fastening.
