Thanks... It took a while to get all the ones that i wanted... They make one set like the center one but it has flying ducks and they make one that is gold plated 24k ... Saw once online and they wanted way too much money... The handles on the brushes are very delicate... I broke another cream and gold one and it was a sad day! Lol
So i have been a bit hesitant to replace the knot on the center one! So far i have 50% success rate with porcelain

I've read somewhere on here of soaking them in acetone will remove the knot without hurting the finish...
