Vase Napoli model with base

dimensions h.cm 38 diam. cm.25  g.1600 approx. 

 

Obtained by hammer forging from a silver plate previously shaped on a lathe and then filled with pitch for the embossing.

Removed the pitch, again hammered using special supports in order to smooth the surfaces.

Then we proceed to assemble everything using only brazing alloys with high content of silver.

In the end the finish with three stages of grinding, buffing and polishing.

If you are lucky enough to have one of these objects in your hand try to count the hammer's imprints....
