I am a fan of Beatrix Potter and can really appreciate her sketches as I also like to sketch. The first button is plastic and features Mrs Tiggy Winkle one of her characters. The second button is porcelain with a portrait of Beatrix Potter and was made by Birchcroft, England. I have several books about Beatrix’ s life. Her parents were overpowering and put too many restrictions on her but she proved her point and became quite famous and made a good income from her children’s books. There were many buttons made featuring her story characters in the twentieth century and I have quite a nice selection of them.
