The Silver Duck

Founded in 2012 by award-winning Bristol-based silversmith Charlotte Anne Duckworth, The Silver Duck specialises in designing and producing bespoke artisan silverware, tableware, and jewellery.

Crafting exquisite utensils and tableware from sterling silver and English holly wood, Charlotte’s creations bring the joy of fine dining into the home. Her work blends artistry with functionality, producing elegant pieces that encourage people to gather, savor their meals, and embrace the present moment.

At the heart of The Silver Duck lies a commitment to simple, elegant designs that are both ergonomic and tactile. Each piece is intended to inspire a deeper appreciation for food and to elevate daily routines and rituals in the kitchen. The collections draw inspiration from organic forms, capturing the natural flow of lines and movement in nature. By playing with light and shadow, the designs evoke a sense of harmony and wonder.

Using traditional silversmithing techniques such as forging and raising, Charlotte demonstrates an innate understanding of her materials. Her creations preserve the natural qualities of silver and wood, resulting in pieces that are finely balanced between function and beauty. The cutlery and tableware embody craftsmanship at its finest, offering timeless elegance and utility.

The Silver Duck is dedicated to sharing the art of silversmithing through expertly crafted public workshops and courses. These sessions offer participants a unique opportunity to explore the world of silversmithing and jewellery-making, gaining hands-on experience and valuable insights into the craft.
