Anyone have any info on this style of button and/or the design on it? I found it at a house the owner says dates back to circa ~1740s.

It is about 20 mm.

Thanks! ;D

Not a pan button.I've found a few of them they are much bigger(30mm or larger)
I'd call it a sleeve button. :thumbsup:
And would be later 1700's
You'll find them of that style of shank and form here.(under cuff/sleeve/collar stud)

It represents an 'Urn' (looks similar in style to the 19th century types), so possibly early 1800s.
