This Satsuma porcelain button has a bottle green background and is painted in lovely bright colours, mainly blue, yellow and green. It depicts two Oriental figures with some blossom surrounding them. It measures just on 3 cm.
ENAMEL BUTTON
This metal button has a floral enamelled border which is quite different. The inner section has a lovely brass scrolly leaf design which stands out nicely against the darker metal. It measures 3 1/2cm. It is new to my collection.
MODERN BUTTONS
These three buttons were bought in Japan in 2009 for me by my sister in law which was a nice surprise. They are different in colour and design and have a really modern look about them. I am not sure what they are made of.
METAL BUTTONS
Here are three brass buttons with a similar make up. They have completely different designs but are all hollow at the back. They are all sew through type and measure 2 1/2 cm.
GAY NINETIES BUTTON
This Gay Nineties button is quite different being of open brass work with a lovely green oval stone set in the middle. There are two very fine filigree sections on either side.
SCOTTIE DOG BUTTONS
This is a nice little group of realistic dog buttons given to me by my special friend Suzanne for my birthday in 2003. One is a tiny enamelled metal button and two are black plastic. I really love the red tartan sew through one.
