The Mokumé Tiffany Bowl
This week Director’s Choice focuses on an incredibly rare piece of Tiffany silver commissioned whilst the firm was under the direction of Edward Moore. This fascinating bowl uses a technique called Mokumé, which means “wood grain,” and is the term used for a Japanese metalwork technique which combines and manipulates a metal laminate of different coloured metals (gold, silver, copper, and other alloys) to create the appearance of wood grain. The pattern results from punching through the metal layers and then compressing them into a single plane.
