About MePod vessel made from oxidised silver with wax finish. Julie Blyfield is recognised as one of Australia's leading silversmiths. She sketches directly from nature and during 2003 she studied botanical and pressed plant specimens at the South Australian Herbarium and Museum of Economic Botany in Adelaide. The result was a collection of 'Pod Vessels' in copper and silver. Using the techniques of chasing and raising to create finely detailed surface texture the finished piece resembles a natural object. This process is incredibly time consuming and requires great skill.
