First Design Period;
Taxco, Mexico Each stamped for William Spratling; Others variously stamped: Taxco / 980 / Made in Mexico / Silver / Mexico Provenance: The Collection of Cindy Tietze-Hodosh and Stuart Hodosh
William Spratling, (born Sept. 22, 1900, Sonyea, N.Y., U.S.A died Aug. 8, 1967, near Taxco, Mex.), American designer and architect, who spent more than 30 years in Mexico developing and promoting the silvercraft that made the city of Taxco famous.A graduate of the New York Fine Arts Institute and Auburn University, in Alabama (where he studied architecture), Spratling taught art and architecture at Tulane University, New Orleans, La., for eight years before going to Mexico in 1927. For two years he taught at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City (1927–29) and then settled in Taxco, an old silver town (founded in 1528) that had long been in decay. He befriended silver artisans from all over Mexico and began the design of silver jewelry, artwork, tableware, and tea sets, opening his first taller, or workshop, on the Calle Las Delicias in 1933. After World War II his workshop went bankrupt, but he continued his work from a nearby ranch. His example inspired the founding of hundreds of competing workshops.Over the years Spratling also collected archaeological pieces (housed in the Museo Guillermo Spratling [William Spratling Museum] in Taxco) and founded a silvercraft school.

Vintage William Spratling Mixed Metal Sterling Silver Copper Bull's Eye Earrings
By William Spratling
Located in New York, NY
William Spratling has been called the Father of Mexican Modernist Silver Design. He earned a degree in architecture from Auburn University, formerly the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and was invited to teach there upon graduation. In 1931, he travelled to Taxco, Mexico to re-establish the silver industry traditional to the area, naming his workshop Taller de las Delicias. Striking, unusual Mesoamerican and Pre-Colombian motifs with a modern aesthetic and high level of quality attracted collectors and gave Mexican artisans a venue for expressing their cultural heritage. Spratling silver was sold through such prominent American stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
