FINISHES

  • Matte finishes looked freshest when teamed with gloss
  • Matte slate and wood made a handsome couple
  • Mixing metallic into reactive glazes looked dramatic
  • Ribbed borders or allover motifs stood out in relief techniques
  • Etching, rose-y golds and iridescence signatured the best new flatware
