“Hammer ‘raising’ has been an essential activity of metalsmiths for thousands of years. Though I still employ traditional techniques, I try to use them in a contemporary manner. I believe that a well-designed piece should embrace both high-quality traditional techniques with contemporary design. It should also engage the eye and pique the interest of the beholder. This raised and assembled cup reflects my attempt to marry line, space, structure and function.”
John Cogswell’s exquisite sterling silver Kiddush cup is raised and fabricated and the stem hammer-textured and oxidized – all wrought by hand. This stunning piece appears to glow from within. With graceful proportions and subtle detail, bring this piece home to become an heirloom appreciated for generations.
