These two bowls are just off to a customer, a nice chap who has been collecting my work for a couple of years and has a taste for nice pieces. I did some photos of them for Goldsmiths magazine for an article they want to run and the laburnum photographs really well. Top one is a mazer and the bottom one a quaich, a Scottish whiskey drinking vessel.
Here are a couple of articles int he local press on our mazers.

I saw your blog today and I must say, it’s pretty interesting, you have a very unique line of work!
Gorgeous:) Do they take on the stain of wine after prolonged use?
