Your Choice of one: Vintage Wedgewood seminar favor buttons for many of the years between1959 1981.
From 1956 to 1991, Wedgewood made Jasperware picture buttons of the Portland Vase to be given to attendees at their annual seminar as a gift (favor). A stud button was made for the gentlemen and a matching self shank button was made for the ladies. These are self shank buttons that were made for the women (or the female buttons as I've seen them called by collectors). Every year presented with a different color combination as shown.
Buttons are marked on the back with Wedgewood Made in England and the last 2 digits of the year (Please see my note regarding a couple of exceptions).
I do have some matching "his" stud buttons for some of these years also listed. If you're looking for a particular one of those please be sure to check my other listings for Wedgewood seminar favor buttons... I just may have what you're looking for.
- All of these buttons measure just shy of or exactly 1 inch (25mm), self shank
- All are in excellent condition as shown
PLEASE NOTE EXCEPTIONS:
- Two of the buttons are shown here with 2 years. I've seen several incomplete charts of these seminar favor buttons by year and there are some conflicts. I've seen mention where a button is in a few rare instances dated the year it was made and not the year of the seminar. Where the date on the button appears to conflict with some of the more complete sets I've seen, I've indicated both years (buttons #3 and #4) .
- There is one button which did not get dated on the back but I've listed with the date as shown on several of the charts I've seen (button #12).
- Three buttons stray from the typical jasperware. Buttons #6 and #7 are glossy ceramic with a transfer image of the Portland vase. Button #21 is the usual matte porcelain but also with a transfer image in gold of the Portland vase.
