Unusual vintage ceramic buttons? - ID help required
Found these today at Malvern. All hand painted measuring from 1-3 cm. Sadly no marks but heavily crazed so I guess have some age. My hunch is they were made for to be used as buttons or maybe in jewellery. Also included a few pieces that look like spoon rests. Any help would be appreciated.

The middle three remind me of Stavangerflint designs.

Thanks all for your suggestions/thoughts so far. Yes I can see the Stavangerflint influence too. I also thought they had an Eastern European look about them. The bird design reminds me a lot of Tibor Reich.

Yes Dan, after a miserable hour walking around the outdoor pitches at yesterdays Malvern flea I decided to give the indoor hall a try and picked up these together with a Wye pottery Modanna and child plaque and a nice piece of exbor glass all in a few minutes for very little cash. Malvern can be funny like that...
