Solace beaker - Alex O'Connor
Sterling silver spun, formed and chased beaker, with gilded interior
This supremely tactile beaker begs to be caressed in order to appreciate its textured surface: dimpled by the repetitive, almost meditative use of chasing punches which gives this beakers its name. The shape of the beaker sits beautifully in the hand and encourages contemplation.
Alex is inspired by the landscape of her native West Cornwall, her designs often occur as a result of walking in, and observing nature.
Before retraining as a silversmith, Alex began her career as a sculptor, and this background is clearly revealed in her designs which are skilfully conceived to create plays on balance. She has a strong eye for the rhythm of groups of objects.
