This tumbler was hand-raised from a sheet of silver, then chased and engraved with a design representing acacia pods and leaves that Miriam documented while travelling through Morocco. The sunlight reflecting off the vegetation inspired her to gild some elements. This blend of finishes, together with Miriam’s approach to fine detailing, has been integrated into much of her work, contributing towards her signature style.

The inspiration for the engravings on this hand-raised vase came from the landscape of the Suffolk coast, around Miriam’s studio. The crashing, tumbling waves, the ebb and flow of the tides, sea breezes and seascapes all helped to shape this piece, which evokes a harmonious sense of movement. Seabirds glide in and out of the spume beneath the clouds. The dynamic beauty of water and all that surrounds it often figures in Miriam’s work.

Crafted from two silver alloys, this jug was hand-raised, chased and engraved. It was originally commissioned by furniture designer John Makepeace, and another piece was subsequently created for the Modern Collection of The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. The design was inspired by the flow of water and its dynamic patterns. The shape also ensures graceful and efficient pouring.

This hand-raised and chased beaker is part of a set commissioned over three years for a client’s six grandchildren. The design of each beaker incorporates engraved initials and dates of birth. The boldly chased curling waves and the curvaceous form of the beaker create a particularly pleasant tactile effect.

Commissioned by a client whose name translates as 'Lion', this hand-raised and chased tumbler is larger than Miriam’s usual designs and can also be used as a bowl. The engravings were inspired by ancient Egyptian imagery, notably the sun god Ra, and the bold style of hieroglyphics when carved in high relief.
