- Prince of Wales Feathers - The triple plumed crest of the Prince of Wales, from the 114th century, showing three ostrich feathers surmounting a crown. The motif was adopted in the 18th and early 19th century in various stylised forms by wood carvers and furniture designers.
- Hammered - A hammered finish on metal wares is achieved by striking the surface of the metal with a hammer to create a series of small, uniform indentations. The indentations can be made in a variety of patterns and depths. The resulting surface texture can vary from a subtle, almost imperceptible texture to a highly textured surface with a strong, pronounced pattern.
The hammered finish adds texture and visual interest to metal objects such as bowls, vases, and other decorative items. It can also be used to add grip or reduce glare on tools, weapons, and other functional metal objects.
A hammered finish can be applied to a range of metals, including copper, brass, silver, and gold.
