Radka Passianova — Sierra #2, 2022, Fine Sculptural Cup

The Sierra Cup is a handcrafted vessel made from sterling silver, featuring a textured exterior finished with gesso and sealed with a protective varnish. A walnut stirrer is thoughtfully integrated, slotting through an opening on the side of the form.

Designed as a decorative object, the Sierra Cup is ideal for holding keepsakes or small treasured items. While the vessel is capable of holding liquid, it is not intended for direct drinking. The exterior finish, including the gesso and varnish, is not food-safe; if used with liquid, a straw is recommended.
