About the Artwork

This jug is an interesting example of outside raising, in which the form is stretched in one piece from a small disk of silver. Extremely simple in shape and decoration, the piece has been given a pleasant weight, well expressed in the sturdy design. Small pieces of silver set in a diagonal course around the base create shadows which give balance to the rather small base. The handle and thumb rest are made up of several pieces of silver soldered together in vertical bands.
