Curved Amphora - Recycled Silver
Curved Amphora - Recycled Silver
Amphora.
It has been a labour of love to create this piece with the process of lost wax casting. Every amphora is made unique, as I work directly onto the moulded wax before sending it back to the casting house to be turned into metal.
Every vessel is uniquely made-to-order.
Details:
The amphora is an ancient vessel with two handles which emerged during the Neolithic period; they were produced profusely in the Classical period. Amphorae were used to transport and store luxuries such as oil and wine: in clay amphorae vessels wine could be sealed tight and turned into a great vintage – something we couldn’t do again ‘til glass bottles were invented in the early modern period. This necked amphora was designed for easy pouring of the good stuff…
Care:
Silver will naturally oxidise and darken over time. To keep it shiny and bright, polish with the microfibre cloth included in your order.
Store in a dry place or wear it all the time.
