Project description

I drink tea the old way, from a plain thick-walled glass, several times a day. A holder is not a shelf ornament for me, it is a tool I use every morning. What I can buy is either stamped thin sheet that bends in the hand and rattles, or old pieces covered in somebody else's insignia. I do not want any of that. No coats of arms, no departmental badges, no award emblems, nothing that could pass for an official mark. Plant ornament, clean geometry and one personal monogram on the handle is the whole brief.

I need two or three holders made for one specific glass, which I can hand over for fitting or measure myself if you send me instructions. The fit matters most: the glass should seat firmly, without wobble and without binding, and stay put if I tilt the holder. The body is brass with a pierced pattern through the wall, a polished rim on top, a matte ground around the cut-outs and a light patina settling into the recesses. The soldered seam should be clean and dressed back so it does not show against the light. One hard condition: no lead solder anywhere, because the piece meets boiling water every day.

The handle deserves its own paragraph. It has to be attached properly, not spot-fixed at a single point, and it must not loosen within a year. The grip should take three or four fingers, and above all the handle must not get uncomfortably hot: choose the section and the contact points so heat does not run straight out of the hot wall into my hand. Underneath I want a foot or soft bearing points so the holder does not scratch the table.

One thing I want to say up front so there is no misunderstanding about finish. I know brass darkens from hands and tea, and I consider that normal and even desirable. Please do not lacquer it: lacquer over boiling water flakes off in patches sooner or later, and that looks far worse than honest metal. I will polish the pieces from time to time myself, and I would like your advice on what to use.

What I expect from the job:
— two or three sketches of the pattern before any cutting starts;
— measurement of my glass and a trial fit on the first piece;
— pierced plant ornament only, no heraldry and no official-looking marks;
— polished rim, matte ground, patina left in the recesses;
— lead-free solder and a dressed, invisible seam;
— a securely mounted handle, checked for heat with hot water;
— a monogram on the handle, design agreed with me first;
— a foot or pads that will not mark the table;
— photos at each stage and careful packing.
