Shirt buttons with dog motifs in Essex Crystal.
585 yellow gold tested. Head diameter 19.56 mm. Together 13.3 g.
Historical shirt buttons with the sculptural depictions of the heads of a white and a light brown lapdog with large eyes and a slightly protruding tongue in a corded frame, created using the Essex Crystal technique. In this technique, rock crystal cabochons are figuratively cut on the back and the intaglio is then colored and applied to a mother-of-pearl background. The curvature of the rock crystal cabochon makes the colored intaglio appear three-dimensional. The backs are removable via a screw clasp. The backs show slight signs of wear on the gold in keeping with their age.
