Three “Mack” Porcelain

Three porcelain buttons, one approximately 11/16 inch, size NBS small, two approximately 7/8 inch, size NBS medium, all in good condition. The buttons were made in Stoke-on-Trent, England by a couple once employed by Royal Doulton. Each button is handmade, the porcelain first poured into a mold that holds 10 buttons at a time. There are a number of steps for each button, all being done in a small workshop adjacent to their home. Once out of the mold, the edges are smoothed and the edge color is hand painted. The floral pictures are decals that are hand applied and then fired one more time. The decals come from the Netherlands.
