Punched Sterling Silver Serving Dish & Spoon Set
A paired serving set designed for shared use, bringing together vessel and tool in a single, considered object.
The dish is hand-formed in sterling silver and worked through punching, building a textured surface through repeated strikes. The pattern emerges gradually, echoing the rhythms of tool use and the language of worked material.
Accompanying the dish, the serving spoon is hand-formed and finished to sit comfortably within the vessel. Together, the two elements form a complete gesture to serve, to offer, to share.
Designed for nuts, olives, or small accompaniments, the set sits at the centre of informal gatherings. It is used briefly but repeatedly, passed between hands and returned again, becoming part of the rhythm of hospitality.
The surface across both elements carries the marks of making; subtle, irregular, and responsive to light. Each set is individually made, with variations in texture and form that reflect the process.
Balanced between function and object, the set can be used daily or displayed as part of a collection; a contemporary expression of material, labour, and shared experience.
