Galvanized and Enamel: Practical Metalware

A set of practical farmhouse metal objects. A galvanized iron bucket holds firewood or miscellaneous items, its surface a matte silver-gray with irregular zinc spangles; several white enamel containers and measuring cups with black edges; a large enamel tray. These items are simple in shape, genuinely in use, and placed on shelves and countertops rather than displayed. Avoid: using shiny polished stainless steel, arranging items neatly as decoration, using distressed antique ironware, adding colorful plastic containers.

一組實用的農舍金屬器物。一個鍍鋅的鐵桶裝著柴薪或雜物,表面是霧面的銀灰帶不規則的鋅花;幾個白色琺瑯的容器與量杯,邊緣是黑色的;一個大的琺瑯托盤。這些東西的形狀樸素,是真的在用的,放在層板與檯面上而不是陳列。避免:使用亮面拋光的不鏽鋼、把器物排列整齊當裝飾、使用做舊的仿古鐵器、加入彩色的塑膠容器。
