Natural sea pottery collected through beachcombing✩.*˚ ◎ This is a "substitute ceramic button," a button from a school uniform made of pottery. It was created in the mid-Showa period (during the war) as a substitute when metal buttons were scarce due to the metal collection order. The brown button seems to have been made to resemble metal. A rare item that conveys the tragedy of the war, as it was used on school uniforms during a time of metal resource shortages✩.*˚ (A small stone is stuck in the buttonhole) The actual color may appear different from the photos depending on the lighting. Please understand this beforehand. After washing, it has been dried in the sun. A 1-yen coin is photographed with the item for size reference. Please check it. #seaglass #seabricks #seapottery #seatiles #giftfromthesea #jewelsofthesea #handmade #interior #DIY #beachcombing #crafts #accessorymaking #aquarium #handmadeart #seaglassart #natural #necklace #rare #pastelcolors #materials #glassart #obidome (sash clip) #obidome (sash clip) #obikazari (sash ornament) #hairornament #barrette #kintsugi (gold repair) #seabutton #mid-ShowaPeriod #wartime
