Serie of gold-plated vases

In his first collaboration with Wiener Silber Manufactur, US American designer Ted Muehling created a series of bowls, vases and candleholders whose forms appear to be taken directly from nature. These elegantly animated, delicate objects illustrate a new facet of silversmith art. The spice dishes for Wiener Silber Manufactur were developed from the very attractive seed vessel of a tropical plant. The unusual organic form fits pleasantly in the palm of the hand and magically creates softly flowing light reflections on the silver and the internal gilding.
