These buttons are white stoneware and all made by hand. They are a rich brown with bits of light green in the recessed areas. They have a very earthy feel.
They are sold 2 per card and are $9.00 each.
Buttons measure 7/8" wide by 1 1/4" long.
These buttons were made by rolling out the clay and using a handmade stamp I made to press in the design in the clay. Then, I used a shaped cutter to cut the shape of the buttons. When the buttons are leather hard, I carefully mark where I want the holes. Then, I use a series of 4 different sizes of hand tools with a drill end to make the holes progressively larger as I go. The buttons are kept flat until they are bone dry. Then, they are bisque fired to cone 04. Finally, they are glazed and fired to cone 6.
