Product Description

Gold and silver are rare metals in nature, and they are naturally beautiful with a gorgeous metallic luster. It has excellent physical and chemical properties and has good ductility. It can hammer out thin paper-like gold foil and pull it into fine gold wire, which can be used to make exquisite works of art. In terms of the type of utensils, gold and silverware can be divided into food containers, drinking utensils, containers, medicines, household utensils, decorations and religious appliances. The process technology required to complete the gold and silverware is also very complicated and fine, including enamel, hammering, casting, welding, cutting, polishing, sheet metal, frying beads, wire rods, rivets, gold plating, engraving, hollowing and other processes. These production techniques have experienced different stages of development, as well as their own cultural meanings and aesthetics. Through the exhibition of actual cultural relics, we should be able to more clearly understand the superb performance of the above methods.
