SUSAN  CLARKE  ORIGINALS

I bought these buttons at a Patchwork shop ten years or more ago.  They are rather pretty with white enamel background and a little pink flower in a heart shaped brass button.  I do not know anything about them.

Here we have a group of seven various Miniature Enamelled Brass buttons probably from the early 1900’s.

They range from 8 mm to the larger one in the middle being 15mm.  Their designs are intricate, colourful and very appealing.

Here are two lovely little enamelled brass buttons.

They are tiny at just over 1 cm. and both have a white background with delicate little flowers on them which is common in a lot of Enamelled buttons.  I especially like the design of the one with the four little bars of enamel work.

This button is enamelled brass and has a modern design in purple, red and green which is a little different.  I actually have three of them.

I bought them at an opp shop and was pleased to find them.  They are 2 cm in diameter.

Here is a group of nice bright yellow enamelled brass buttons.

They look smart just having two gold lines and edge, nice in their simplicity.  I got them in the local opp shop and they are very well made.

This enamelled brass button is quite striking having a floral design on a black ground.

The cut steels set in brass around the outer edge give it a dramatic look.  On the back you will see that these are all rivetted in separately.   It measures 3 cm.

I think these two buttons are called cold enamel.  They have a dull finish.

One is in greens and pinks with a blue flower.  The second one is an Art Nouveau style with flowers on a white ground and lots of scrolls.  It also has a scallopped edge.  They are similar in size being 2  1/4 cm.

Here are two pretty enamelled brass buttons of the same design but with a different colour scheme.

The flowers show up nicely on the white background.  The border is so decorative and very complimentary.  They measure 2 cm x 1  1/4cm.

Here are two entirely different enamelled brass buttons.

One is large at 3  1/2cm with a sort of geometric design incorporating cream and blue enamel.   The other is multi coloured with a floral design.  It makes me think that it was a “practice button”  as the colours and border  design to me are a bit of a  “hotch potch”   (the computer doesn’t like that word!) when you look closely.  (No rhyme nor reason) It measures 3 cm.

Two enamelled brass buttons are shown here.

One is a beautiful bright blue with a white centre and tiny pink flower.  The other has a white background with pink and blue flowers.  It has a gold scalloped edge.
