For many centuries silver was currency. Coins, i.e. money, were made from silver. If you had a excess money,
coins were melted down and fashioned into holloware as a visible display of wealth. Society fashion soon dictated
that holloware should serve a practical domestic purpose as well and consequently for many centuries, the majority of
silver holloware has been fashioned into attractive items designed for regular daily use, most notably related to
dining and the household.
Crawford Contemporary Holloware is all about striking visual design coupled with fun, practical use. Every one of our
products is painstakingly made by hand by master craftsmen, not just silversmiths, but artists, modelers, chasers and
casters too. The process starts with a simple sketch, through technical drawings, several draft prototypes through to
thorough testing in real surroundings.
Only the most generous gauges of silver are employed. The construction is designed to last. The durability of
Crawford Silver Holloware is beyond compare. It can be used daily, will always look splendid and will still outlast
your grandchildren's grandchildren. Not often you can say that about any product nowadays.
