Celtic Cross a Lidded Vase by Heidi Warr and the Guild of Handicrafts
About the Item
Collaboration Piece - Celtic cross.
A collaboration between AD antiques, Heidi Warr and the Guild of handicrafts.
These are special commissioned pieces for AD Antiques. They are a collaboration with hart gold and silversmiths of chipping campden.
Hart Gold and Silversmiths are known around the world for their amazing handcrafted work with gold and sliver. The company dates back to the early 1900s when their founder, George Hart, joined the Guild of Handicrafts which was formed by Charles Ashbee in 1888. By passing on the skills necessary down the generations, the company continue to produce some of the world’s finest gold and silver handcrafted treasures.
Heidi writes “I was thrilled to have the opportunity and privilege of working with Hart Gold and Silversmiths to produce this incredible piece.
The design I created for these special pieces is a Celtic Cross. I have been intrigued by Celtic Crosses since seeing them in Cornwall where they nestle in the landscape. Viewing them in their natural surroundings felt like travelling back in time.
I was inspired by the different meanings attributed to the cross and circle. Some sources say the cross and circle symbolise Christianity and God’s love. Others say they circle is a Pagan symbol and the cross is the Christian symbol. In my design I have used the cross to symbolise Christianity and the circle to symbolise Pagan traditions. I wanted this piece to represent a celebration of these two different beliefs. To develop the idea as a celebration of difference, I included a snake in the design which I used to represent temptations that are common to us all regardless of our belief.
The design challenge I set myself was to create a Celtic Cross made up of Celtic Knot-work. I wanted the design to be recognisable from a distance, just like Celtic Crosses are in their natural surroundings, yet superbly detailed when viewed up close. The knot-work design has been repeated on the solid silver lid created by the wonderful craftsmen at Hart Gold and Silversmiths. Integrated into the design on the silver lid are four circles of Abalone.”
Measures: 53cm high and 12cm at the base.

Escher is probably most well known for his seemingly impossible black and white drawings such as Castle in the Sky, Balcony, Waterfall, Relativity and Belvedere. Escher is one of the great artists who managed to combine symbolism and fantasy with real life. Many of his works depict natural objects in an unnatural way and yet they are compelling to look at and excite our eye. I chose to use Escher’s “butterflies...Category
