Handmade ceramic buttons apricot. These are 25mm buttons with extra wide holes. They are perfect for thick wool projects. Product photo shows sample buttons from this series. The button are sold in different sets.
As most other our buttons these were fired two times. This buttons are glazed with a low fire glaze so we use a reverse schedule. First we fire these buttons at 1180-1200 degrees so that they vitrify and then we glaze them and fire once again at 1060. 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 chose 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.
