Who is CD on Art Nouveau/Arts& Crafts Enamel Button Set?

[qtazza]

Hello~~~I have a set of 6 of these lovely buttons. I would like to know who CD is. I am sorry but the hallmarks are SO tiny I couldn't show them very well. But the CD is very clear as you can see. The tiny marks are 1) the lion passant 2) Chester (I believe) 3)A (1901, I believe)






Your help is most appreciated. Joni

Hi,

What gorgeous buttons! I don't have an answer for you, but have you checked the book <i>Jewelry and Metalwork in the Arts & Crafts Tradition</i> by Karlin? She lists many makers marks, especially of English and Scottish designers. It is available through many libraries--I just returned a copy so I couldn't look it up for you!
