A DIVISION ONE JAPANESE SHIBAYAMA BUTTON

1 Medium size 19th century inlay floral example. These 19th century examples of Japanese craftsmanship should not be overlooked because of the early 21st century Chinese reproduction examples. Nothing can replace the fine work that the artists of the 19th century were able to achieve and this pearl and gemstone inlayed example is an attest to that fine workmanship over the mass produced buttons. Self shank. Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above Date or Era: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918 Condition Request Condition Report PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new.
