Steuben Spiney Caviar

First to recommend

Description

This delightfully whimsical set, made entirely by hand, takes the form of a sea urchin, and each exquisit example is unique. The fludity and beauty of the glass highlights the delicacy of glistening caviar beads. No hardware is needed since the glass "spines" serve as feet for the ice bowl and help to anchor the smaller caviar bowl in the ice. This versatile pair of bowls may also be used as charming serving pieces or decorative accents. Jeff Zimmerman, 2007.

Entwine Tall Goblets

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I adore the sinuous shape of these hand forged sterling silver goblets. They are gilt inside, which is a bit hard to see in the photo. They are made by a young designer/silversmith in London, Emma-Kate Francis. Keep an eye out for her, because I think she's going to make it big.

Here's what she has to say about herself:

I graduated in 2002 with an MA in Silversmithing from the Royal College of Art, London.

Entertaining is a key influence for my work, whether it is an intimate affair or an elaborate dinner. My aim is that my work becomes a focal point to a dining table or a mantelpiece and that it sparks off comment.

Phoenix Serving Tray By D.L. & Co.

First to recommend

Description

This fab tray makes a dramatic statement in black and mother of pearl.

made entirely by hand using techniques that date back over 800 years. the creation of each piece involves the utmost patience and artistry. with an astonishing technical master, each accomplished craftsman devotes between 6 to 8 weeks to complete a marvelously individual work of art. each piece of mother-of-pearl, which may be only on millimeter thick, is precisely hand-cut, hand sanded and then carefully inlaid by hand.

the phoenix is a universal symbol of the sun, rebirth, resurrection and immortality. this legendary “fire bird” was believed to die in its self-made flames periodically then rise again out of its ashes.
