for Macro Mondays: treasured
This silver atomic heart pendant with amethyst is my favourite of the many pieces my daughter, Clare, has made for me with her silversmithing hat on.
I have nestled it in a tiny purple glazed concrete bowl Clare also made one year when she went into production with a friend.
...remembering my daughter, Clare, who wrote "the shades of light to deepest pink...have always been favourite colours" and therefore named her silversmithing enterprise 'rose madder'.
The Silversmithing Museum is situated in the Castele of Ioannina - To Μουσειο Αργυροτεχνιας βρισκεται στο Καστρο Ιωαννινων
for Looking close... on Friday! - Gold & Silver (colour)
The silver of this ring is actually silver; the gold is reticulated brass (the process turns the brass a gold colour) which Clare explained to me as she gave it as a gift, made in her silversmithing enterprise 'rose madder'.
gratitude for all visits to my photostream
Ray brought these two 'Compassion' roses in from the garden last evening. The rose bush climbs on the back wall of our house and the blooms have a distinctive peachey scent.
They make me think of our late** daughter, Clare, who called her silversmithing enterprise 'Rose Madder' because "the shades of light to deepest pink produced by the plant pigment of this name have always been favourite colours and I like that Rose Madder sounds a little like a burlesque persona."
Clare wrote these words in an article she produced about her jewellery-making for the first edition of 'Sachet Mixte Women', an Arts Journal published in 2014.
She ends her piece in the journal with words from Henry Miller: "Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself."
**I used to think this adjective rather quaint. I noted its use in novels by Alexander McCall Smith. Now it has become for me a useful word to explain what I do not want to be verbose in explanation.

A brooch I've had for a long time - silver, carefully and intricately enamelled with bands of sky blue, purple, lime green and orange. The enamelling glitters in the sunshine. It was made by the Norwegian silversmith David Andersen.

Clare works as a silversmith, in her own small enterprise, Rose Madder, from a space in the hallway of her flat in Glasgow. I am fortunate to often receive special pieces from her. I have collected photos of a few of these in my album 'Made by Clare'.
update: we lost Clare suddenly in May 2022 and my album of her work has become an album in her memory
Alongside the hawthorn in memory of Clare, Ray has now planted a spindle tree in our front garden We were surprised and happy that the hawthorn gave deep pink blossom in May in its first season with us. And now the spindle tree is amazingly already decked with bright pink berries in July. **
The pink blossom and berries of these two trees have been chosen in reference to Clare's silversmithing enterprise, Rose Madder, which meant so very much to her and from which I have so many beautiful pieces.
** I checked it out online:
Spindle fruits are perhaps the most unusual of all our native trees and shrubs. They consist of green 'capsules' that become bright pink when they are ripe in September and October
thank you for all your visits

The same year Nikola Tesla was giving the lecture "On Electricity" for the occasion o the commemoration of the introduction of Niagara Falls power in Buffalo NY. These gauges are from 1916, the same year Tesla declares bankruptcy.

New Silversmithing Museum
The museum deals with silversmithing technology in the pre-industrial period, while illuminating the extensive history of silverware in Epirus from the 15th century to the 20th
……Rewinding to Christmas just gone Attingham Park (N/Trust) the Tree theme was to celebrate many trades involved in keeping Attingham in tip top condition, so there was the Plasterers tree, the Gilted, Upholsterer, Woodworker and so the list goes on - this one is the Silversmith, I wish I’d have composed a little better on the left but decided to share for the quality of the display not the photo. Well done NT…. Alan:-)

The time already has passed, but the crape myrtle was in full bloom.
Especially the white flowers were so lovely.
This beautiful English Style Liberty (Art Nouveau) milk jug was made by silversmiths George Nathan and Ridley Hayes in Chester in 1903. Very elegantly designed, it has a decorative edge, a sweeping Art Nouveau handle and three small legs with hoof like feet.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 18th of November is “objects with legs”, where I can photograph anything that has legs, but is not a living being, nor a doll, stuffed toy, little figure, figurine or statue. I immediately thought of this beautiful sterling silver milk jug, which belonged to my Great Grandparents, which now sits on my dining room mantlepiece, and which I sometimes use for formal dinner parties and at Christmas and New Year. It was part of a very fashionable Style Liberty (the English version of Art Nouveau – also known as the English Arts and Crafts Movement) six piece tea and coffee set that my Great Grandfather bought my Great Grandmother from George Nathan and Ridley Hayes Hatton Gardens premises in London in 1904. The set was sent at some stage between the two World Wars from their London house to their Manchester house. The Manchester house was hit by a bomb during what became known as the “Christmas Blitz” on the 23rd of December, 1940. Many of my Great Grandparents’ belongings in the house were destroyed by the German bomber’s strike, but incredibly, many items survived the hit, including beautiful pieces of fine porcelain, books, photos, paintings and pieces of family silver. Sadly, the rest of this set was lost in the rubble, but my Great Grandparents’ housekeeper retrieved this milk jug amongst other items. My Great Grandparents were spending Christmas 1940 in Sussex, and were not at all in danger, but went up to Manchester as soon as they could arrange it after Christmas. Their housekeeper presented them with this jug amongst the items salvaged from their Manchester home, and, when they died, it was passed to my Grandmother, who in turn bequeathed it to me. I hope you like this pretty footed milk jug with its stylish legs, and that it makes you smile.
George Nathan and Ridley Hayes were silversmiths who entered their first joint mark in 1897 in Birmingham. They were particularly known for their Style Liberty interpretation of early English silver - producing tea sets and caddies, bowls, baskets and desk sets. They traded under the name Nathan & Hayes and had premises in both Birmingham and Hatton Gardens in London. Hayes ceased to appear in records in 1912, but the firm continued trading as Nathan & Hayes. They were bought by S. Blanckensee & Sons.

The major figure in reviving old enameling techniques in England was Alexander Fisher (1864-1936), who trained as a silversmith until inspired by French artisan Louis Dalpayrat with whom he studied. Fisher was an influential teacher and author on enameling, and his pieces are generally associated with the Arts & Crafts movement. He contributed to the art magazines of the time, such as Studio. He published his book in 1906: The Art of Enamelling upon Metal: with a Short Appendix Concerning Miniature Painting on Enamel; it’s available online at archive.org/details/artofenamellingu00fishuoft
His major work was a series of enameled plaques showing scenes from the operas of Richard Wagner. The plaque with two scenes from Tristan and Isolde dates from 1896 and is made of nickel silver, enamel and opals. An 1898 plaque with three figures is made of enamel and silver. Both are on display at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond

The Silversmith ~ Kuang Jinsheng.
Their generation as lives take the hand-planted silverware and had gone thru hundred years of history. He started hand made silverware when he was 14 years old, when he turn to 60 years old only then famous far and wide, once, by his fine vulture fine-pointed finish's small teapot.
百年手工銀器 - 銀匠鄺進盛老師傅
就在噴泉右邊，店屋的最後一間“列源金舖”，有位銀匠鄺進盛，他們世代以手工製作銀器為生，已有百年歷史。14歲就手製銀器，60餘歲才名揚四海，曾經，他就以精雕細琢的小茶壺、木碳爐及瓶子聞名海外，連日本雜誌都越洋專訪，登上了日本雜誌，是為浮羅人的驕傲。
This house dates to about 1818, or about 15 years after the United States purchased Franco-Spanish claims to Louisiana.
The panels of the Armadio degli Argenti (Italian: Wardrobe of the Silversmiths) are a series of tempera paintings on panel created by Fra Angelico ca. 1451–1453 and completed later by other hands using his preparatory drawings. They are now in the Museo nazionale di San Marco in Florence.
The Armadio was designed as an ex voto door for Santissima Annunziata. According to a passage in the chronicle of Benedetto Dei, they were commissioned from Fra Angelico's studio by Piero de' Medici. The commission formed part of Piero's wider plan to create a family oratory between the 'Vergine Annunziata' chapel and the convent's library, in which the Armadio was intended to be displayed. The oratory was roofed in 1451, so the interior decoration could not pre-date that year. The last payment for the Armadio was made in 1453. A source from the same year shows how the Armadio was already in the oratory by that date, referring to a window as being located above it.
The original arrangement of the panels is unknown, though they are thought to have originally formed two doors. In the rebuilding of the oratory between 1461 and 1463, when Piero built two rooms for his stays with the monks, they were probably rearranged into a kind of 'saracinesca' mechanically operated from above. At that point technical works were entrusted to Donatello and Lapo Portigiani. In January 1461 there is record of a payment to a Pietro del Massaio, painter, which was described as intent on "teaching to paint the armadio", probably in adding colour to the designs produced by Fra Angelico himself, who had died six years earlier. The colour in some of the last scenes differ from Fra Angelico's usual palette, with more yellow for example.
After 1460 Fra Domenico da Corella recorded the panels in his Theocoton as works by Fra Angelico. All the later historic sources (Albertini, Billi, Anonimo Gaddiano) ascribe the entire work to Fra Angelico. The one exception is Manetti, who speaks of "almost" all the tabernacle as being an autograph work by Fra Angelico. Vasari attributed the whole work to Fra Angelico, but argued it was produced in his youth, a conclusion also followed by all 19th-century art historians. Modern art historians place it instead at the end of the artist's life, proposing collaborators for the non-autograph panels such as Domenico di Michelino (Berenson), the Master of Cell 2 (Pope-Hennessy), Zanobi Strozzi and Benozzo Gozzoli (Salmi). The autograph panels include Annunciation, Nativity, Flight into Egypt and Massacre of the Innocents.
The cycle represents Christ's childhood, preaching, passion, death and resurrection:
Ezekiel's Vision, Annunciation, Nativity, Circumcision, Adoration of the Magi, Presentation of Christ in the Temple, Flight into Egypt, Massacre of the Innocents, The Christ Child in the Temple, Wedding at Cana, Baptism of Christ, Transfiguraiton, Resurrection of Lazarus, Entry into Jerusalem, Last Supper, Judas Receiving Thirty Pieces of Silver, Washing the Disciples' Feet, Communion of the, Apostles, Gethsemane, Judas Kisses Christ, Arrest of Christ, Christ Before Pilate, Christ Mocked, Flagellation, The Road to Calvary, Christ Disrobed, Crucifixion, Christ Placed in the Tomb, Descent into Limbo, The Maries at the Tomb, Ascension, Pentecost, Last Judgement (double panel), Coronation of the Virgin, Genealogy of Christ
The Brewhouse at Sala Silvermine, Sala, Sweden.
The Brewhouse was a service building that belonged to the household of the mine residence. The house included a brewing room and a laundry room. 1970-1980 the house was in use as a café, now the house hosts the silversmith Nils-Börje.
