SAMOTH CERAMICS, Medium

11/16” square, NBS medium, in good condition.

Another Samoth that I don’t know what to call! Hands Up character! In a purple dress and shoes! So many of the Samoth buttons are wacky, weird and wonderful and that’s why we love them! I Wish I could tell you more about Samoth Ceramics, the Oakland, California company doing business in the mid 20th century, but unfortunately very little is known about them despite numerous searches for information on their history. The buttons are typically molded and hand glazed with a flat back and a glued-on plastic shank. I’ve never seen one with a back mark.
