The Concrete Collection Recycled Silver Carafe and Tumblers
Can be bought as a set, or as separates this collection was designed and created as part of my Arts Council funded The Water Tower Works Project. This project underpinned the collection inspired by all things concrete.
Made using recycled sterling silver, which has been assayed and hallmarked by Sheffield Assay Office, and has a gold plated interior which adds a visual contrast but also has a functional purpose; red wine doesn’t stain gold like it does silver.
A marriage of hand and machine crafted, the base of the pieces has been “spun” by Warren Martin who is a traditional trade silver spinner using a lathe, tools and decades of skill. The body of the carafe and tumblers has been made by me, starting with a flat sheet of silver. Using lots of hammering, forming, and finessing the soldered truncated cone is then soldered to the base et voila!
Silver is naturally antibacterial so a lovely material to eat and drink from. And as a good heat conductor it is perfect for water (pop a couple of ice cubes in and the silver will chill, in turn keeping the water cooler for longer), and of course red wine will breathe while gently warming to room temperature. Perfect!
Ok the important part - the carafe will comfortably hold a bottle of wine, or a litre of water. Or those amounts of any other liquid you may care to enjoy. The tumblers fit enjoyably in any hand. All three items have a flat bottom so no need to worry about its stability when placed down.
