This exciting collection of work forms part of the V&A’s British Design Season and complements its major spring exhibition ‘British Design 1948-2012: Innovation in the Modern Age’. In this exhibition, members of Contemporary British Silversmiths take an imaginative look at the theme ‘Fit for Purpose’. The function of each object is explored, both practically and conceptually through the medium of silver, each piece described by its purpose. In addition, all work bears the new Diamond Jubilee commemorative hallmark being struck only during 2012, alongside the standard 2012 UK hallmarks, making these objects historically significant and collectable. www.contemporarybritishsilversmiths.org.uk
