Circles & Ovals

Aquila Art Glass Circles & Ovals

Circles & Ovals is the plainest shape family in Aquila Art Glass's lineup: round knobs and oval bar pulls cast in solid, saturated color, without the swirls, fractures, and metallic surfaces used on nearly everything else the brand casts. Spring green, medium amber, emerald green, sunflower yellow, pumpkin orange, garnet red, light pink, and olive green are among the colors currently cast in this shape family.

What circles and ovals actually covers

Round knobs make up most of what's cast here, offered across the full color range. The oval shape shows up specifically on the bar pulls: garnet red, light metallic green, and olive green all appear as oval bar pulls rather than round knobs, giving drawers a different profile than the doors beside them. Both shapes share the same glass and casting process, so pairing a knob with its matching oval pull in the same color reads as one tone even though the outline differs.

Choosing a color for cabinetry

Because the glass is solid-colored rather than patterned, these knobs read as a clean accent color more than a decorative motif, closer to choosing a paint chip than choosing a pattern. Warmer colors like pumpkin orange and garnet red pair with wood-tone or cream cabinetry; cooler tones like emerald and spring green suit white or gray painted doors. Check out Metallic if flat solid color isn't enough shine for the kitchen you're planning.

Comparing to other Aquila shape families

Buyers who like the simplicity of Circles & Ovals but want more visual texture should look at Swirl, which puts that pattern into the same two silhouettes, round knobs and oval pulls. All Aquila Art Glass is cast rather than poured from one dye lot, so a slight color shift between individual pieces is ordinary, not a flaw.

Mounting notes for glass knobs

Glass knobs mount like metal ones do, with a standard machine screw from the back of the door, but glass weighs more than pewter or zinc, worth accounting for on thin cabinet doors. A round knob here sits comfortably on most standard door thicknesses; it's the longer oval pulls where screw length against door depth is worth checking before a full run goes in.
