Pair of antique solitaire buttons, with detachable shanks released by a spring mechanism. They each have a pretty ceramic top with hand-painted flowers inside a white cartouche outlined with a silver lustre line, and surrounded by a bright blue border. The tops are not exactly the same but very similar. Backstamped E MOORE PATENT. One of the backs is a little stiff to release as the lug seems stuck, but it does work. Price is for the pair
