Description: | The outer surface of this vessel is a combination of copper and silver fused into one thin plate. This process is called 'mokume gane', which literally translates as 'wood grain metal'. This is an ancient technique first used on the sword handles of Samurai warriors. This is an example of Alistair McCallum's own development of the process. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1996 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Alistair McCallum | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
