The discovery of silver cannot be pinpointed; humans have mined it
far back into antiquity. Our fascination with this malleable metal
and the beautiful works of art that can be shaped from it continues
to this day. This book brings together two expansive collections of
silver objects, the 'Lion' collection and the 'Hamme' collection.
The 'Lion' collection provides a broad overview of beautiful silver
objects made by a great variety of British contemporary
silversmiths. It is divided between holloware, caddy spoons and
napkin rings. Part of the collection revolves around the theme of
lions, because the lion image bears a resemblance to the
collector's family history. The Hamme collection is a spectacular
array of 'hero' pieces and commissions that demonstrate some of the
best of each silversmith's work. With more than 500 images,
Contemporary British Silver Designers shares some of the finest
work crafted by 21st-century silversmiths. Interviews with numerous
modern silversmiths - Jane Short, Kevin Grey, Miriam Hanid, Nan Nan
Liu, Phil Jordan, Ray Walton, Rod Kelly, Tamar de Vries Winter,
Wayne Meeten, Yusuke Yamamoto, Zoe Watts, Fred Rich, Michael Lloyd
and Wally Gilbert - offer insight into the silversmiths' process
and inspirations. Brief biographies are also included on numerous
