These beautiful bird designs are taken from original 19th century images and put onto Stocckwell’s vintage look buttons by a long process of transferring which requires the buttons to be fired in the kiln no less than three times. As ever, these buttons are entirely handmade at every stage in the company workshop in east Cornwall. These buttons will shortly be available from the website in the three most popular sizes 17mm, 22mm and 27mm. info@stockwellceramics.co.uk www.stockwellceramics.com
