Creating value with the skill and technology to craft anything in gold or silver.

Founded in 1927, this long-established manufacturer specializes in gold and silverware production and is a group of artisans skilled in metal forging. The current leader, Masaru Mori, is the fifth generation. It is known as the only gold and silverware workshop located in the city center that possesses both rolling and melting facilities.

“From gold bathtubs to toothpicks”—this is the catchphrase of Mori Silverware Workshop. These are actual products the company has crafted, showcasing the spirit and skill of the artisans, demonstrating that there is nothing they can’t make if it’s with gold or silver.
The basic process begins with melting the silver, which is then formed into sheets and thinned using a press machine. The thin silver sheets are then hammered to shape. While they take the time to create individual products, their ability to use press machines for mass production allows them to meet a wide variety of needs. This versatility and high level of skill are among their strengths.
In recent years, the prices of gold and silver, the raw materials, have surged. However, the high-quality silverware crafted by artisans remains in high demand, particularly among inbound tourists, and the business appears to be thriving. The award-winning new product for Reiwa 6 (2024), “Shinju no Koromo,” features a pure silver’s sake cup and tokkuri (sake bottle). When sake is poured, a sphere appears within the cup, creating a unique visual effect.
In Chinese culture, the sphere symbolizes the emperor, and consuming it is considered auspicious, making it a cherished gift for celebratory occasions.
