Vintage Black Carbolite Button — USSR, 1940s–1950s

A large and beautifully shaped vintage button made of carbolite, an early phenolic plastic widely used in the mid-20th century Soviet Union.

This piece has a floral-inspired sculpted surface — the shape itself forms the pattern, with soft curved transitions and a smooth, decorative look.

Size: approx. 45 mm (1.77 inch)

Type: shank (back-mounted loop)

Color: black with a muted gloss

Material: carbolite (phenolic resin)

Origin: USSR, 1940s–1950s

Condition: Good vintage condition with visible traces of time and use.

Originally glossy surface now shows light wear and soft patina, especially noticeable under close inspection.

The overall look remains elegant, with the design itself masking many small age marks.

A perfect statement button or decorative accent for upcycling, restoration, or collector display.
