ROSE UNIACKE EDITIONS

Our Cocktail Shakers are hand spun in Sheffield and then hammered by the last such hammer craftsman in Sheffield.
 
These are both made with a technique called Spinning, a method of producing circular shapes such as bowls and cups from a flat silver disc.The metal spinning trade is one that dates back to antiquity and was a skill used in the Ancient Egyptian era.

Made by one of the few remaining traditional silversmiths in the UK with a long history and heritage of metalwork, using the same time-honoured methods of the past.

The metal spinning trade is one that dates back to antiquity and was a skill used in the Ancient Egyptian era. The earliest known pictorial evidence can be traced to the 4th Century tombs of the Egyptian Pharaoh Petosiris from the early Ptolemaic period. 
 
This craft is on the critically endangered list at Heritage Crafts. It takes practice and years of experience to learn to spin metal. Spinners understand how different metals behave, becoming skilled at looking at designs and understanding how best to achieve the required form.
 
British Silver has had fastidious rules in place for centuries regarding the stamping of sterling silver. These rules concerned the Assay Office, from which the silver quality was verified, as well as the maker's mark and the date of the piece, ensuring that any piece of British sterling silver can be dated exactly. These pieces have been assayed by the Sheffield Assay Office, established in 1773.
 
*As the Shaker is entirely made by hand there might be a few millimetres of tolerance acceptable with regard to the dimensions.
*Goblets are not included
