WALTER HOPPER

Sheffield






THE NATIONAL COMPETITION OF 1906

Among the designs for gold and silver work there was nothing of special merit, although the general average maintained a high level. The silver-gilt censer, shown on Plate No. 3, by Walter Hopper (Sheffield) is not entirely satisfactory in style; the executant is skilful in handling his material and capable as a designer, though a little indiscreet in his choice of ornament.
