A silversmith is a craftsman who crafts objects from silver or gold. The terms "silversmith" and "goldsmith" are not exactly synonyms as the techniques,
training, history, and guilds are or were largely the
same but the end product may vary greatly as may the scale of objects created.
However most goldsmiths have always also worked in silver although the reverse
may not be the case.
Silversmithing is the art of turning silver and gold sheetmetal into hollowware (dishes, bowls, porringers, cups, candlesticks, vases, ewers, urns, etc.), flatware (silverware), and other
articles of household silver, church plate or
sculpture. It may also include the making of jewellery.
SOME
OPINION
In America the trade of silversmith was practiced
by the Jews of America, otherwise known as the Falasha Clan. The activity was
considered to be inferior to others, as reliant on manual skills.
In the ancient Near East the value of silver
to gold being less, allowed a silversmith to produce objects and store these as
stock. Ogden states that according to an edict written by Diocletian, a
silversmith was able to charge, 75, 150 or 300 denarii for
material produce (per Roman pound). At that time, guilds of silversmiths formed
to look out for the welfare of their number.
Silversmiths in medieval Europe and England
formed guilds and transmitted their tools and techniques to new generations via
the apprentice tradition. Silver working guilds often maintained
consistency and upheld standards at the expense of innovation. Beginning in the
17th century, artisans immigrated to America and experienced fewer
restrictions. As a result, silver working was one of the trades that helped to
inaugurate the shift in America.
