| How it looks | Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves. | A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights. | Fully reflective. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel | Brass, copper, bronze | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze |
| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors |
| Worth knowing | Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors. | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. |
| Looking after it | Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed. | A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. |
