JUDGE WARE – Brown enamel beguiles, and these vintage Judge Ware saucepans have stood the test of time. When in situ, these pans look to have come straight out of a William Scott painting. In the past, many manufacturers of enamel chose brown as their signature colour but our favourite has always been this British staple.

This year’s calendar pays homage to our favourite colour; brown. We always find ourselves drawn to this colour. Its darker shades have a graphic quality like black, whilst the lighter tones have a warm and natural feel. When we began selecting products for LABOUR AND WAIT over twenty years ago, we soon realised that our proclivity for brown tones could get the better of us and the result would be a completely brown shop. We regularly have to keep ourselves in check to ensure a variety of hues and colours find their way to the shop floor.
