Handmade ceramic buttons swamp. These are 18mm buttons sold in sets of 6. There were several sets in this design. Product photo shows just some of them, please allow minor differences as all the buttons are 100% handmade.
As most other our buttons these 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 4 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.
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 but we always pay extra attention to make sure that they match each other within one set.
As a courtesy to the new safety regulation in European Union we herewith inform you that when ceramics fall from a height and break there may occur sharp edges and shards. Please be careful. All our buttons are handmade, created by me - Asya Franke. My legal address and contact being as follows: Camino el Barrero 57, 38540 Las Cuevecitas, Spain. info@todobunto.com
