Collection notes
A spice merchant’s scales.
The dry threads keep their deep red around the rim of the pan. In water, the same spice opens into amber. Both colours sit easily beside the subdued yellow of dyed cloth.
For a spice tin, use Merchant’s Lacquer for the lid and Saffron Water for the side band. Print the ingredients in Merchant’s Lacquer on Porcelain Spoon.
