House Charter
Charter edition · 12 June 2026 · applies to every page of the showcase
This charter describes what the showcase ledger is, how its batch specifications should be read, and the fair way to pass flavour notes along to another household. It keeps the same tone as the counter: plain statements, no small print designed to hide what the sweets actually are.
What this showcase is
The showcase is an editorial catalog of the kettle house: collection entries, craft methods, tasting notes and gift guidance written by the people who pour the batches. It is presented as a heritage archive so that collectors, gift buyers and the simply curious can study a collection before writing to the letters desk.
Flavour descriptions, cure times and batch sizes are recorded honestly from the batch book. Textures are described in the trade language of confectioners, not in the language of promises.
Reading a collection entry
- Batch names the pan size and the season the sweet was poured.
- Texture uses four house words: chalk soft, glass bright, dense matte and pearl pressed.
- Notes list the botanicals actually measured into the pan, strongest first.
- Gift fit suggests the setting a collection tends to travel well into, not a guarantee of taste.
When a collection rotates out for the season, its entry stays in the archive with the year noted, so that a tin found at the back of a pantry can still be identified by its batch line.
Fair use of the ledger
- Print a collection entry, a batch line or a tasting note for personal or household use as often as you like.
- Quote a flavour note in a newsletter, class handout or community notice when the house name and collection name travel with it.
- Do not present a rewritten collection entry as another maker's work, and do not reproduce the artwork or page design as your own.
- Do not suggest that the kettle house endorses a product, a remedy or a retailer that has not been described here.
What the house promises, and what it does not
Promised
Accurate batch records, honest ingredient families, careful packing, and a reply from the letters desk to any question about a tin. Colours come from botanicals, sizes come from hand cutting, and dates come from the kettle.
Not promised
Identical pieces, an unlimited archive, or any health benefit. Confections are sweets; they are not remedies, supplements or medical products, and nothing in the ledger should be read that way. Households with a known sensitivity should begin with the ingredient and craft advisory.
Changes to the charter
When a collection retires or a method shifts, the charter page is revised and the edition line at the top of this page is redated. Older editions are kept in the workshop binder and can be read at the counter during appointments.
