Millennium Canteen
Jeffrey Sofaer - Serving Spoon and Teaspoon
0f the same basically classic and functional form. There is special interest in the handle, with an obliquely cut flared end which features a 9ct red gold inlay representing the rising sun and symbolising the dawn of a new age. The shape of this rising-sun motif is carried through, up towards the elliptical bowl, as the cross-section of the handle. The bowl and upper wall of the handle were forged from a single sheet, with the flat lower wall soldered in later, resulting in a hollow structure. The elements of the end of the handle, including the gold inlay, were first turned and then given a flat edge to represent the horizon.
