Polka Dot Hand-Painted Ceramic Cabinet Knob in Dark Blue and Green

A scatter of dots, each set down by hand — playful, but with a maker's steady eye.

This knob is hand-shaped in ceramic and then hand-painted with a polka-dot motif in dark blue and green — deep, moody colors that keep the whimsy grown-up. Because every dot is placed individually, no two knobs are quite alike; the small irregularities are exactly what give them their charm.

Sturdy metal fittings sit at the center, grounding the piece for daily use, while the glazed surface stays smooth and cool to the touch. It is a cheerful, characterful thing — the sort of detail that makes you smile each time you open the cupboard.

Works well in: a country kitchen in warm white and forest green, or a child's room with painted furniture and cheerful textiles. Especially good against navy, olive, and soft cream fronts.

Sizing: handcrafted knob of standard cupboard proportions, supplied with a threaded bolt to suit doors and drawers of typical thickness — trim to fit thinner fronts; as each is made by hand, small variations are part of its character.
