A MID 2OTH CENTURY TEAPOT AND WATERPOT BERNARD HARRINGTON, EDINBURGH 1952 each of baluster form with everted lobed rim, planished finish overall, the C scroll wooden handles with silver stud detail, the high domed hinged lids with wood ball finials (28cm height of coffee pot, 66.3oz weight (all in)) Footnote: Note: Bernard Harrington registered his punch at the Edinburgh Assay Office between 1948 and 1975 when he was an active silversmith, designer and University lecturer. His legacy is not confined to his output of fine silver, which encompasses various civic items, including the Maces for the City of Dundee in 1954 and that of the Deacon Convener of the Nine Trades of Dundee in 1953. He will also be remembered for his influence on a much wider sphere of Scottish silversmiths and jewellers as the head of Silversmithing and Jewellery Department at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee. He held this position from 1943 until 1974 influencing a generation of students. His bold use of simple lines and traditional techniques set him apart from the mass produced / manufactured wares which had become commonplace throughout Britain since the end of WW1.
