Descrizione

Named after the island of Rhodes, long known for its ceramic traditions, this mortice door knob set reflects the same attention to material and method. Each knob is shaped by hand in ceramic using traditional moulds, then hand-painted in a soft cream tone and finished with a natural crackle glaze. During firing, the glaze cools at a different pace from the clay beneath it, creating a fine web of lines across the surface — a detail shaped by time, temperature, and the hand of the maker. The solid base is crafted from matt brass — chosen not only for strength, but for the quiet richness it brings to the piece. Its soft, brushed finish adds weight and warmth, grounding the form with lasting presence. Together, the ceramic and brass feel balanced — one bringing subtle hue and texture, the other lending support and understated beauty. Set includes two turning ceramic knobs (one for each side of a single internal door), an 8 mm steel spindle, and a full set of fixing screws. Once fitted, the knobs connect securely through a standard mortice turning mechanism, ensuring a dependable and smooth operation every time, not just decorative, but a reliable feature in the flow of home life. This set does not include a latch, as most customers can continue using their existing tubular mortice latch. The knobs are specifically designed to work with standard 8 mm spindle-operated latches found in most internal doors. If needed, a standard 60 mm or 70 mm latch needs to be sourced separately. The through-bolt fixing system creates a secure, long-lasting fit between the knobs. Their ceramic construction is mounted on a stable brass base, with a rounded grip shape that's easy to turn. Ideal for internal doors between 3.5 cm to 4.5 cm thick (35 mm to 45 mm), including bedroom doors, kitchen entrances, bathroom doors (with an added lock), and even French-style interior doors. The set fits most solid wood, MDF, or engineered timber doors in the UK. For European customers, the 8 mm spindle size and door thickness should be confirmed before purchase. US-based customers can install these knobs with minor adjustments — a DIY-capable person or carpenter should find it straightforward. This is not a dummy knob set and is intended for functional use on interior doors.

The Art Behind the Crackle: A Glaze That Ages with Grace

Crackle glaze is more than just a surface finish — it is a signature of heritage craftsmanship, created through patience, precision, and time. Each ceramic form begins as raw clay, shaped and smoothed by hand using traditional moulds. Once dried and prepared, a specially mixed glaze is applied by hand in delicate, even layers. This careful application ensures the right consistency — not too thick, not too thin — allowing the glaze to move naturally as it reacts to the intense heat of the kiln. As the piece is fired, the outer glaze and the inner clay body cool at slightly different rates. This subtle difference causes the surface to contract and form a fine network of lines — the crackle — a phenomenon born not of accident, but of control and experience. The result is a web-like pattern that develops slowly as the ceramic settles into its final state. Each piece carries its own unique variation of this crackle, shaped by temperature, timing, and the hand of the maker. What might seem delicate is in fact a testament to enduring craftsmanship — a finish that honours the passage of time and the quiet beauty.
