The first lies on ivory paper in daylight, cap beside it, a shallow glass dish behind, eucalyptus shadow falling across the surface, green and red serif at the base.

The first is a yellow kettle with a brass base on an aubergine block, a cut circle behind, hard light splitting the wall, condensed cream type at the top left.
The second is the same kettle in bone on travertine, scalloped stone behind, white blossom at the left, blurred shadow of leaves across the wall.
One sells the design. The other sells the morning.
