silver Seed beakers

This unique pair of Sterling Silver gilded beakers are adorned with an intricate seed pattern inspired by the seeds from the Love-in-a-mist or Nigella plant known for it’s feathery foliage and ethereal blooms, which develop intriguing seedpods full of clusters of tiny textured seeds. Each individual seed mark has been hand-stamped into the Silver using selected bespoke seed metal punches designed by Josephine and made from her observational pen and ink drawings of harvested seeds. This methodical, repetitive mark-making process and slow design emerges from hours of meticulous precision of carefully placing each metal seed punch on the surface of the silver, which is then struck with a hammer to indent the silver to create this organic low-relief pattern.
