Porcelain buttons peppered plum. These are about 22-23mm and sold in a set of 6. If you would like to combine this buttons with smaller ones in the same design, please make sure you choose porcelain buttons. We also have ceramic buttons peppered plum - they are glazed with the same glaze, but made of different clay and this affects the color slightly.
The buttons were fired two times. First firing is the so called bisque firing where temperature goes as high as 1000C degrees. After that our buttons are ready to be glazed. We put 2 layers of glaze manually and when they've dried, buttons are fired for the second time at about 1230C degrees. The backside of the buttons stays unglazed. Its like a stone to the touch.
Can you wash the buttons in a washing machine? We would always go for handwash to provide extra care. However smaller buttons can also be washed in a machine, provided you choose wool or handwash program and the garment is turned inside out and put in a laundry bag. The buttons are not afraid of water or temperature, its all about continuous strokes against the washing machine drum when spinning. For buttons 23mm and bigger we strongly recommend handwash.
Please be aware that each button is 100% handmade so there may be imperfections in size and shape.
All our buttons are handmade, created by me - Asya Franke. You can find my legal address and contact information here.
