1. The smith begins with a thick piece of metal called an ingot.

2. The ingot is hammered with a sledgehammer on an anvil to thin the metal.

3. Then the piece is placed over a stake, and the raising process begins. When the shaping is finished, the final smoothing is done with a planishing hammer.

4. Decorative pieces such as handles and finials are added after the final planishing. These pieces are cast in sand molds and are attached to the body of the piece with silver solder.

5.  Finally, the piece is polished using pumice (a volcanic ash), tripoli (decomposed limestone, less abrasive than pumice), and jeweler's rouge (powdered red iron ore.) .These final steps require a great deal of time, often more than the shaping of the piece itself.

The making of a silver teacup takes more than 200 hour of hard labor.
