Portrait of Sisters on Mother of Pearl Button by Susan Clarke, 1-3/8" #1572 European Glass with a satin front thatThe image is adhered to a smooth, white Mother of Pearl shell base, then finished with a glossy protective coating that brings out the sheen of the shell even more. Natural, iridescent white shell provides a perfect base for this reproduction of an old photo of sisters. The quality and depth of the photo makes the girls quite beautiful and alive, even though the focus is a bit blurry, not sharp. Artisan button made in the US by Susan Clarke. Finest
