An assortment of five square-form cabinet knobs crafted from glazed porcelain. These pulls were originally utilized in a chemist shop or general store to label the contents of small drawers. Each knob features black lettering denoting specific inventory, including Violin Strings, Creta Praep., Perfume Bott., Sod. Bicarb., and Resina. The text is framed by stylized red-orange flourishes in the corners. The majority of the set features a white glaze, while the perfume bottle pull has a light blue-grey tint. Every knob is fitted with an integrated iron or steel mounting bolt and square nut.
