    Description

    WHITE ON BLUE MAYAN SERIES CERAMIC BUTTONS
    Early in her career, Leona Caldwell made her own ceramic buttons.  Leona began her ceramics business in the 1940s.  She later began to design clothing. She was able to combine her love for ceramics and fashion by establishing a business in Scottsdale, AZ.  Leona Caldwell Originals was open from the early 1950's to the late 1970's in Lloyd Kiva's Craftsmen's Court on 5th Ave.
    These shank buttons were handmade and hand glazed.  She made the molds too.  None of her buttons were signed.
    Mayan Series buttons circularly measure approximately 1.5".
    Look closely and you will notice these are textured.
    All are in perfect condition, remainders of her estate and have been safely stored for decades.
