Origins and modern pink ceramic buttons
A button is an object that is used in a garment either for the purpose of fastening or for
ornamentation or both. Buttons are usually in the shape of a disc or a knob. Evidence shows
that buttons have been used since as long back as 1500-2000 B.C. Buttons used in 2600-2800
B.C. have been excavated in the ancient Indus valley, while those used in 1500-2000 B.C.
have been found in China as well as in Rome.

In the 13th century, buttons were used an ornament and then they began being used as a
functional fastener in the 16th century. During the 15th and 16th centuries, buttons plated
with gold and silver were popular among the noble class. In the 18th century, the trend of
enamel buttons set in. In the early part of the 19th century, buttons made of fabric as well
as glass and ceramics began to be used, though the glass and ceramic buttons were not very
popular. By the middle of the 19th century, buttons made of shells, pearls, horn, steel and
brass became popular. Towards the later part of the 19th century, enamel buttons made a
comeback. By 1930, buttons began to be made using wood and plastic.
Buttons were initially introduced as a means of ornamentation of a garment, but in course of
time, they began serving as fasteners. In the 1940s, men used to wear about 70 buttons on
their garments, of which only a few were useful for fastening.
After the Second World War, buttons began to be used more for functional purposes than for
decorative purposes.

Ceramic Buttoncan be of different types, such as:
1) Flat buttons: Flat buttons have holes, so that they can be sewn on to garments. Such
buttons might have 2 or 4 holes on their surface. Such buttons can be attached to the
garment either manually or by using a sewing machine.
2) Shank buttons: Shank buttons have a shank, that is a small bar or ring, attached to
their back. The buttons can be attached to the garment using this shank.
3) Covered buttons: Covered buttons refer to buttons that are made of fabric, which
have an attachment on the back side. These buttons can be attached to a garment using this
attachment.
4) Mandarin buttons: Mandarin buttons are made of intricately knotted strings.
Sometimes such buttons are also used as cuff links.
5) Shirt collar expander buttons: Such buttons widen a tight shirt collar. This is done
by creating a gap between the button and the buttonhole. This portion is concealed behind
the neck tie.

There are many uses for 1 inch buttons; they are a cool way to express yourself personally,
such as a funny comment, or pretty picture, or even to show where you stand on certain
issues. They are used for elections, charitable fundraisers, and they have also become an
awesome inexpensive way to promote yourself or your business whatever its size.
People love free merchandise. At Trade Shows, buttons, pins, plush dolls, squish *****, and
anything else is sought after from the people who are there. It is great to see people
coming up to your booth to pick up your 1 inch buttons you had customized on them. They will
wear them, show others, and promote your product.
Comic book artists have used them as a little something extra to add when they sell their
comic books. Bands use them to give away at their concerts, and even small businesses use
them as their calling card which is a great way to be constantly promoting themselves.
Let's face it, when somebody hands you their business card what do you do with it? Yup, you
put it in your pocket, but a button you can wear on your hat, coat collar, heck I add mine
to the shirt I'm wearing each day like jewelry, or flair as they call it in the movie
"Office Space".
