Great gobs of glass
The country wide tartan of Cornwall |
Glass cupboard and door knobs are a number of my perennial favorites. There's an artwork to them of course and a well made glass knob is a bit of art up to now as I'm involved.
It's no large secret that I love Twitter and one among closing weekends exquisite finds turned into Merlin Glass. Merlin Glass is the undertaking of Liam Carey. Liam's been running with glass in Cornwall, UK for the final 30 years and he's specialised in knobs and handles for the final 15.
Liam's work is done by way of hand totally and everything is made to order. This is a Cornish craftsman who brings artwork to each day and for that he deserves a spherical of applause.
Here are some of his cupboard knobs.
And here are some of his door knobs.
Liam calls these his Love Handles. |
Amazing stuff and he works with people all over the world. You can see the rest of his wares and contact him via his website.
