DETAILS
Made in the United States.
Hand-forged by Jill Rikkers, this salad serve set pairs warm, hammered copper with clean stainless steel — each piece finished by hand, so the hammer marks and slight variations are part of the design, not a flaw. Substantial in the hand, quietly beautiful on the table, and built to be used, not just displayed.
Jill Rikkers trained as a metalsmith at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, graduating in 1989. That same year, she moved to Telluride, Colorado, where she's lived and worked ever since. Alongside her husband Scott, she built two working studios on their property — his in wood, hers in metal — each turning out pieces made the old way: by hand, one at a time.
Jill began designing her line of eating and serving utensils in 1995, and the collection has grown from there to include hat bands and hat pins, all carrying the same hand-forged mark. Nothing rushed, nothing mass-produced — just a craftswoman who's spent over three decades at the bench.
CARE
Hand wash only. Copper will patina over time.
