LACY GLASS
THESE BEAUTIES
were made at the end
of the 19th and early part of the 20th century.
A Lacy is a pressed transparent glass
button with a fancy,
delicate design, usually characterized by fine stipling.
In original condition, the back often has
colored, silver, or gold paint, usually coated over with black paint.

PICTORIALS are hard to find. Plants, such as the
Four Leaf Clover, tulip, and flowers were made. The ear of corn is beyond extremely rare. The leaf comes in two sizes.
The example shown above is the smaller one.
