Colour and finish library

Six glazes run through the scallop shell hook and the oval knob and handle, so pieces from different rooms still belong together.

• Scallop shell hook
• Oval knob and handle

On the daisy hook the petals and the centre are glazed in two different colours, so each version carries its own contrast.

• Daisy wall hook

A speckled glaze that runs darker at the edges and lighter across the face. It moves in the kiln, so no two knobs come out quite the same.

• Scalloped ceramic knob

Tints chosen to sit together on one piece of furniture, with clear glass showing the form at its sharpest.

• Rose glass cabinet knob

Solid brass, polished and finished under a clear protective lacquer. Every knob and backplate shares the same finish, so any pairing works.

• Polished brass knobs and backplates

One solid brass knob, three finishes. The round cabinet knob is made in polished brass, buffed to a mirror shine, aged brass, darkened to a soft patina that deepens with handling, and satin brass, brushed to a low-sheen glow. None of them is lacquered, so each one mellows with use. The same thinking runs across my metal pieces, from rose brass to polished chrome.
