The ‘Silene’ Vessel is made by hammer forming the initial shape from flat sheet silver using hammering techniques that have been in use for millennia. Once the vessel shape is complete the it is filled with a pitch substance and the pattern is chased into the surface using small steel punches.

.

The design of the vessel represents the Red Campion (Silene Dioica) seed head . The vessel would be lovely as a vase for a posy of flowers from the garden.
