Pewter Apprentice Bowl

An Apprentice Bowl is traditionally a very special piece, as at the end of his/her apprenticeship each apprentice had to produce one of these bowls and show it to his Master for inspection, as it requires most of the skills learned during an apprenticeship to produce one of these by hand, including marking, cutting, circling, hand hammering or planishing, soldering, buffing, dollying, polishing & sometimes engraving to complete one.  If the Master was happy with the finished bowl then the apprenticeship was complete – an important milestone in every young career. Now you have the opportunity to own one of these very special bowls in pewter or to special order in 958 Britannia Silver.  It can be plain, engraved with the official Royal Platinum Jubilee emblem an/or a personal message.
