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'.

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.

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'.

The usual technique of the djokja silversmiths is floating (embossing), also called repoussé.

Floating silver is hammering out the relief from the inside.

In general you could say that djokja silver is silverware that was made by Javanese silversmiths in Kota Gede for the (Indo-)European community between about 1930 and 1970 and that is recognizable by the characteristic motifs (of which the lotus figure is the most important), and which has been given its typical contrast by blackening the silver.

 

I have some pieces my family brought home after they had to leave Indonesia.

 

This is almost 5cm.

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

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

……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:-)

On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul Revere left his small wooden home in Boston's North End and set out on a journey that would make him into a legend. Today that home is still standing at 19 North Square and has become a national historic landmark. It is downtown Boston's oldest building and one of the few remaining from an early era in the history of colonial America.

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.

Around 1970 in the Midlands of England, a silversmith and amateur songwriter by the name of Ron Webster was riding home from work on a dark, rainy night and wished he was somewhere where it was warm instead of facing a cold, wet walk from the bus stop to his home.

 

He began to pen a song and took the invitation of Kenyan-born Roger Whittaker who was hosting a radio program and invited listeners to send in songs he would put to music.

 

Whittaker recorded Webster's song in 1971 and it became one of his greatest hits in his long music career, eventually selling over 11 million copies worldwide.

 

Photographing scenes like this at the closing down of autumn in Minnesota always makes me think of that song and how the brilliant fall displays signal an end of sunny days, warm nights and summertime memories. What awaits us over the next 6 months can test the endurance of the strongest person's soul.

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

The time already has passed, but the crape myrtle was in full bloom.

Especially the white flowers were so lovely.

Clare, my daughter, works as a silversmith so I am fortunate to receive beautiful pieces for birthdays, anniversaries or just any time. Here are a very few.

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

Silversmith Powerhouse. Although not the first hydro development established in Sandon, the Silversmith was the most technologically advance when it was installed in 1916. It supplied power to the Silversmith Mines and mill. The powerhouse was built in 1916 and the machinery used dates back to 1905, as it was secondhand at the time of installation from the City of Vernon. The powerhouse provided both electricity to the mill and compressed air and electricity to the underground workings of the mine. The plant draws water from Carpenter and Cody Creeks through a wooden penstock that has a vertical drop of 185 m (610 ft). The Silversmith Powerhouse is still in use today, and is the oldest continuing operating plant in Canada.
