Antique Button Necklace — Hand Painted Iris Satsuma Porcelain Button
A breathtaking example of Victorian artistry, this necklace by Elizabeth Ngo centers on a genuine hand painted Iris Satsuma porcelain button from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Satsuma ware, originating in Japan, is prized for its intricate hand-painted designs and fine porcelain craftsmanship — and this 1" button is a miniature masterpiece in its own right. As Elizabeth says, "one's wealth was worn in one's buttons" — and this piece embodies that sentiment beautifully.
