Description: | Helmert Robbertsen incorporates the vessel into much of his work. These have been described as 'memorial vessels'. A memorial vessel is intended to be representative of a memory. The removal of metal from the rim, which has been etched, is intended to be suggestive of the passage of time. The black patina rim is reminiscent of Victorian mourning jewellery and the circular filigree detail refers to lace work. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | metal makers contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
