<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2224349, member: 2844&quot;]These huge handmade ceramic buttons were my mother&#039;s. The beautiful glaze on them reminds me of Ruskin ware, but these look artisan made.</p><p>When I asked my mother about them she said she had them on a coat when she was a girl. That could have been in the 30s, she was born in 1923.</p><p>I have been going through her old photographs, but haven&#039;t found any coats with these buttons. There are also a few smaller buttons, for the sleeves.</p><p>My grandfather supported struggling artists during the Depression Era, maybe he bought these for my mother, or was given them as a thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any idea of the age?</p><p>Thank you for looking.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255088[/ATTACH]</p><p>The backs, with lighter for size:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255089[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255093[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255094[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255091[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the indentation on the edge, from whatever was used to make the hole.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255095[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
