Major Commissions
GOLDSMITHS’ COMPANY ROSEWATER DISH
Rosewater Mountain Burn Dish created for the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths Collection
The Mountain Burn Rosewater dish was commissioned by the Goldsmiths’ Company to celebrate the Lord Sutherland’s time as Prime Warden. The dish depicts the majestic flowing lines of the Scottish mountain burns (highland rivers) carving life and movement through rock.
Rauni was among one of the first women to make a piece that forms part of the Contemporary Buffet, a tiered display in the Livery Hall at Goldsmiths’ Hall that displays the Company’s ceremonial plate and a challenge she set both technically and creatively.
The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, more commonly known as the Goldsmiths’ Company, is one of the Twelve Great Livery Companies of the City of London and received its first royal charter in 1327.
The purpose of the Goldsmiths’ Company is to contribute to national life by supporting craftspeople, protecting consumers and working with charitable partners to help people improve their lives.
