<p>[QUOTE=&quot;popsycat, post: 1996421, member: 1904&quot;]It was a popular home craft for quite a while. You could send for the makings from a catalogue. Somewhere in the loft I have an old catalogue. &quot;Ruskin&quot;was the pottery who made the coloured shapes which were incorporated in furniture handles as well and other items. I once had an arts and crafts wardrobe, with ruskin inserts. One was missing. I went through my brooches and found an exact match to complete the wardrobe. Some people made them commercially, but they are not found in large numbers, probably for craft fairs etc; hence you do find some with silver fronts, but mostly pewter. People incorporated all sorts of little items into the designs, but Ruskin is the most popular.How good they were depended upon how imaginative and artistic the maker was. Here is a link to the arts and crafts brass and copper ware with ruskin inserts.<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/gemedack/ruskin-tiles/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pinterest.com/gemedack/ruskin-tiles/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/gemedack/ruskin-tiles/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
