POTTERY BUTTON

This pottery button was made by Bill Cotching of Don, Tasmania. I purchased it recently while on holidays. It has a real hand made look about it and measures 3 cm.

WOOD AND PLASTIC BUTTONS

Here are four wooden buttons with a plastic disc inserted into the middle. There are two different colour combinations. They measure 3 cm.

WOODEN BUTTON

This wooden button is rather chunky and is decorated with two strips of tin on the top. I guess it may be from the 1940’s period and was probably worn on a coat.

METAL BUTTONS

I got this group of brass buttons in Tasmania and was pleased to get them. They picture a deer and I guess they may be Hunting Club buttons. They measure just over 2 cm.

FABRIC AND BRASS BUTTONS

I find these buttons fascinating. They are covered with black fabric and have a brass filigree centre featuring tulips which are rather nice. They are a little under 2 1/2 cm.

GLASS BUTTONS

These glass buttons are a dull dark brown and have little dots of coloured paint in the centre. They have a self shank.

ORIGINAL BUTTON CARD

I purchased this button card recently in an Antique shop in Tasmania. It has twelve pearl buttons and is in very good order. The artwork is effective with peacocks depicted in pleasing colours on the sides.

METALIZED PLASTIC BUTTON

This button is modern also and has an odd shape which makes it a bit different. It features a flower pattern in the middle and has a self shank.

METAL BUTTON

This button is made of tin and has been painted red which makes a nice background to the bi-plane pressed into it. It is a little worn and I imagine the plane was originally a gold colour however it is still an interesting button.
