Here we have a pair of ceramic glove factory molds, manufactured in England in the 1940s. These are industrial tools that have outlived their utilitarian role and stepped right into the realm of art. Each mold once played a part in mass-producing rubber gloves, but now they stand like ghostly sentinels of industry, hands forever raised as if in greeting… or warning.
The surface has developed a speckled patina from years of use, giving them an organic, almost skin-like quality that contrasts beautifully with the clean, glossy porcelain bases. One of the molds carries a small repair at the back, a scar of sorts, but far from diminishing it, it adds to the story—proof of a life lived in hard labor before finding its second act as a collectible.
