This form of enameling is rare and only started to be used today. |

Émaux Peints
These buttons are designed by "painting with enamels". I frequently use "Sunshine Enamel Paints" but sometimes use other types of painting enamels.
Note: many of my Limoges pieces are also done with decals (transfers) and thus if you are looking for a Limoges button, check out decals, too. |

When learning this, there are 4 brush strokes that one learns before going off to do compositions. These are called the Four Gentleman. I have created two buttons so far of hte 4 as seen in #3241 and #3263. When I have all 4 done, I will sell sets of one of each. |

Paillons and Perrieries
These buttons all contain paillons - precisely cut embossed gold foil. Some are just scross, but some are specific shapes likes birds or stars. Paillons that have a mound of enamel in them are called pierreries. Note that although paillons were used quite a bit in olden times, they are no longer manufactured and are hard, if not impossible to find. I'm so lucky to have a found a stash of them and thus to be able to be used in my artwork. |

Torched Fired Enamel
This technique is not listed in the Blue Book - the enamel is fired with an open torch, rather than putting in the kiln. If leaded enamels are used, it can be characterized by opalescent colors and a luster finish. All these buttons do not have counter enamel; the backs are what is called Hellfired Fire Scale - all black.

Custom Photos
This is a custom order item using a collector's supplied photo. Pricinig is $40 for the first button and $30 for any additional if ordered at the same time. These are for round or square buttons up to 2". I need to be supplied with either the photo itself or a high resolution image of it (600dpi). These are not rush jobs because for the price, it requires that I gang up decals on a large sheet to print all at one time. To ask about these, email me.
Here is a sample. You will notice that the decals is not as vivid as the original but that is the technology in making these transfers.
