The objects were often beautifully engraved and were magnificently decorated. Platters and candlesticks were often made of brass. The craftsmanship was often of high quality; the items were exquisitely decorated and were used as gifts for important events such as baptisms and weddings.

In the Haugesund area, just after the war, Nannastakene (the "Nanna" candlesticks) were popular wedding gifts among the residents. The candlesticks, made by Tater people who settled there, can still be found in many homes in Haugesund and the surrounding area (Paulsen 2006).

The Tater people would purchase jewellery from the jeweller, but they also made jewellery such as pins, brooches and filigree brooches from silver or nickel silver. They often wore silver combs and earrings or gold earrings. The women wore large filigree brooches and wide gold bands that they received when they got engaged, which were called "solder rings". The men wore the "pledge ring"; some Travellers made them for themselves.

Different groups have made their living by producing objects from steel wire, and it is difficult to distinguish the Tater people’s products from those of other craftsmen. In Norway, though, wire work is associated with the Tater people, whereas in Sweden vagabonds and prison inmates were also producers of wire crafts.

Many Tater people in Norway associate wire crafts with low status and poverty. Wire craft was what you resorted to when there were no other opportunities. The material was easily accessible. It could be cut from the farmer's steel wire fence in the morning and sold back to the same farmer in the afternoon as whisks, platters, graters, or other products. The product design was very creative. Countless versions of whisks, platters, baskets, egg cups, clothes hangers, graters, corkscrews, shelves - and of many other items - were produced.

Despite the fact that many have an ambivalent attitude towards wire work, there is now some pride in this. Today, Tater people make earrings inspired by older wire crafts. During school displays and events in which Tater people exhibit their culture, wire crafts are presented as a central and positive part of their traditional crafts.
