A handmade hall marked sterling silver base, lid and cradle with a beautiful mouth blown English crystal bowl, these are the components that make the JA Campbell silver & crystal caviar server.

Caviar has an exclusive unique flavour and as such needs to be served on ice in an exclusive unique JA Campbell Silver & Crystal Caviar server.

The sterling silver server is part of the JA Campbell contemporary 'Appetite' collection. This collection has many other luxury tableware items that will complement any occasion. 'To delight a customer' is something Designer John Campbell aims to do with every item that leaves his workshop.

Enjoying caviar with friends can be a special piece of theatre to be remembered and certain to impress your friends and guests. It is a delicacy that demands stunning presentation. This set serves the purpose and also ensures the caviar is kept in good condition

In the highest quality caviar each egg retains 100% of its oil content, giving the caviar a delicious flavour that is difficult to compare.

The method of manufacture is described below by maker John Campbell. The large ice bowl and the bowl that contains the caviar are blown for us by Dartington Crystal. The silver base, caviar cover and knob are made by the "spinning" method. This is a process for making round hollow objects from sheet metal in relatively small amounts. In this case the base is spun in 2 components lapped together at the bottom. The cover is in 3 components, 2 form the knob, again lapped together and then soldered to the cover. Spinning involves a flat metal disc, in this case, silver spun or wrapped around a preformed shape on a lathe using a polished steel burnisher fixed to a long wooden handle. The skill of the silversmith is to prevent the disc from buckling as it comes off the flat and takes on a hollow form.

The caviar bowl support frame is made from silver wire which is cut, bent and soldered together. 3 silver balls are then soldered to the strut ends to help keep the frame central.

 At this stage in the making the item is sent to the London Assay Office for testing of each and every component. Only if all the components prove to be better than 92.5% are the hallmarks punched into the surface while being supported on a steel stake. The English hallmarking system is one of the oldest and best forms of consumer protection and dates back to the 1400s.

Upon return to the silversmith's workshop the silver is polished using 4 grades of polishing compound and finally fitted together. Lastly the caviar set is packed into the well known JA Campbell luxury presentation boxes.

The silver & crystal caviar servers are available in 2 sizes suitable for a couple or a group. The large server holds 200 to 250grams of caviar and the small server holds 50 to 75grams

Spoil yourself, either of these silver & crystal caviar servers would make an ideal silver wedding present or possibly a silver corporate gift. In the unlikely event of the crystal bowl being damaged JA Campbell offer a replacement crystal service.

You can be assured that all JA Campbell products are made up to a standard not down to a price.
