Porcelain buttons tenderness. These are about 16x16mm and sold in a set of 9. Please be aware that due to the square shape these buttons look same or even bigger then round buttons in 17-18mm. So if you want to combine different shapes, take 17-18mm round buttons and 16x16mm square buttons.
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.
