Lexington Cortado Black Glaze is Kitchen Craft's warm Cortado finish on the Lexington raised-panel door, with hand-applied black glaze settling into the architectural details. The combination of warm Cortado coffee base and dramatic black glaze delivers refined hand-finished traditional character with rich tonal contrast.
Why Cortado Plus Black Glaze Reads Different
Plain Cortado delivers clean uniform warm coffee-toned character. Cortado with black glaze adds dark pigment in the panel reveal and frame edges, which gives each door dramatic shadow detail and amplifies the warm coffee personality with rich contrast. The Lexington raised-panel architecture has more reveals than slim Shaker doors, which means the black glaze settles into more detail lines, delivering substantial hand-finished traditional character.

Designed For
Formal traditional and warm-traditional kitchens that want substantial hand-finished character with rich warm coffee depth and dramatic dark contrast, primary bath vanities, and homes with elaborate warm architectural elements like cherry millwork or oak floors where the cabinetry should match surrounding casework. It pairs comfortably with marble-look quartz with warm veining, leathered granite, unlacquered brass or oil-rubbed bronze hardware, and oak or walnut flooring.
Variation Notes
Hand-glazed finishes are intentionally non-uniform. The black glaze depth and pattern vary slightly between doors, which is part of the hand-built character rather than a defect. Order a sample door and view both the Cortado base and the black glaze under your kitchen's actual evening lighting before locking the order.
