Raised over fire, finished by hand.
Silvan Cherry cookware is formed in a tradition of hammer work and hand lining — built to outlast trends and, with care, to outlast a generation.
A workshop in the hills of Yunnan.
Our makers raise each pan from a single disc of copper — hammered over fire, lined with tin by hand, and pressed with the maker's stamp. Nothing here is formed by a machine.
Three gestures, one vessel.
Raise
From a single disc
Each pan begins as a flat sheet of copper. Over fire and under the hammer, the metal is raised into form — walls, rim, and balance shaped by hand rather than pressed by a machine.
Tin
Lined for a lifetime of cooking
The interior is lined with tin by hand so the pan is ready for the stove. When years of use wear the lining thin, the piece can be re-tinned and returned to service — kept, not replaced.
Stamp
The mark of the maker
Finished pieces carry the maker's stamp: a quiet record of the hand that formed them. Small batches, one vessel at a time, from a workshop in the hills of Yunnan.
Wood and brass at the same table.
Carved by hand, from wood.
Carrousels, rocking horses, and floral motifs cut into walnut and pearwood — pressing figures into shortbread the way festival molds have for generations.

Wood, crowned in cast brass.
Bottle stoppers, holders, and small keepsakes — carved wood finished with cast-brass figures. The same workshop hand, scaled to the table rather than the stove.

Whether you are furnishing a kitchen or looking for a gift that lasts, we are glad to answer questions about lead times, care, and re-tinning.
