I have followed the work of the incredible craftsman David Huang for several years now and am pleased to own one of his hand raised vessels. His site is filled with images of his work and insightful images of the process of raising and chasing.

David has just posted and annotated several image of a vessel he has completed for a competition. It is fascinating to follow along with his thought process as he tackles this project.

A pair, matching or not, would be fantastic.

Bascall,

I am certain he would be glad to make you a pair.

My wife gave me one of his copper chased and gilded bowls for our anniversary and it is fabulous to hold. The gold leaf interior glows even in dim lighting. The website is filled with a great deal of information for both craftsman and collector.

Dave is a treasure.

The vessel is a delight to look at and hold. I see it each morning as I wake up.

Wonderful piece. Rather than a pair, I would want a series running from small to large.

How is it marked?

Dale,

I have not asked how David will mark the 22k bowl. I do know that he signs each piece. Mine is signed in a totaly discrete place on the bowl. I had to search with a loupe to find his name scratched in. It is very well done.

Fred, Thank you for introducing me to a craftsman I did not know, the cup is beautiful. Also the images of the raising and chasing are perfect to show those who have never seen how it is done.

David documented the making of my bowl and posted it on his website. The making of Anniversary gift by David Huang

I posted an image of the bowl here: Photo Book: 500 metal vessel
