SPRING brings TULIPS! Enjoy this array of Tulip Buttons! Here is a large (particularly for this type of button) 1 1/2″ realistic Tulip in Arita porcelain from Japan.

A champleve enamel tulip blossom with foliage and bud is mounted against a textured back with a center steel pin on this steel cup button from the 19th century.

A colorful triple Tulip design meant to resemble embroidery is actually painted pressed wood. Made in Czechoslovakia in the first half of the 20th century.

Lacy glass Tulip design with a beautiful iridescent luster mounted in black bakelite from the 1930’s.

Collectors are always looking for unusual materials to enhance a tray. This 1940s-50s era woven raffia features a hyacinth and a tulip bloom, and did very well in our Winter 2018 Auction.

This ochre tinted aluminum one-piece wafer button was fashioned from a 1950’s era aluminum tray – which was cut, tumbled and tinted – creating this cool design.

Beautiful cranberry color and lovely tulip petal corners on this scarce square shaped Victorian Div. I lacy glass.

A triple Tulip design decorates this 19th century ivorine wafer accented with cut steels and painted coloring.

The Art Deco Tulip Border on this extra-large celluloid wafer frames the center wavy pattern over glittery gold and green foil. This is Lot #168 in our current Spring 2019 Auction.
