After submitting drawings, plans, and digital renderings, Rowan Berry (b. 1996) was honored as the 2017 Incorporation of Goldsmiths Outstanding Scottish Student while attending the Glasgow School of Art. The award allowed Berry to create a silver goblet (5) under the tutelage of silversmith and master chaser Michael Lloyd at his workshop in Dumfries and Galloway. Of Berry’s inspiration for the goblet, the artist states she is “inspired by religious, spiritual and personal objects, and the connotations of the simple symbols of the circle and cross. I understand the symbols of the circle and cross to mean many different things in connection to love, religion, luck and faith. I wanted the goblet to have a real sense of being made by hand, and an important part of translating this was using chasing.” Goblet 2017 Rowan Berry (b. 1996) Edinburgh Britannia silver, parcel-gilt Collection of the Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh L2018.1801.019 Special thanks to The Pearson Silver Collection.

"Behind the world of the artisan is…that desire to take an inanimate material, and bring it to life in a form or image that will sing out; that desire to pay homage to my surroundings, to my creativity; that thanksgiving to that first bite into the apple of awareness."

"I felt that the nature of my craft and the romance of precious metals gave me an opportunity to design pieces that added delight, surprise, intrigue and even amusement to what had become austere and even sterile within the ‘modern’ idiom of design."
