This is a set of THREE (3) beautiful vintage faux tortoiseshell buttons. Translucent, in rich browns and amber. I believe they are bakelite - they are heavy, and beautifully smooth. 1 1/2" square. Two holes. The centers have an oval-shaped depression that is frosted, while the outside edges are glossy. These are from my mother's buttons collection. She loved to add vintage touches to modern clothing, and these could certainly add a retro touch to your creation! From a smoke-free home. Perfect condition - no chips or any other damage.
