About the Item

1935, Taxco Mexico. Early edition with scroll hanger details and footed base. In great condition. With “WS” “Taxco” and 925 sterling silver stamping on underside. Later editions of this piece are typically made of silver plate and are more common, however this sterling silver edition is extremely rare. William Spratling (1900 - 1967) was an American born architect, designer and silversmith regarded as the founder of the modern Mexican silver movement. In 1929 he created a workshop in Taxco, Mexico and produced a prolific collection of sterling silver jewelry, silverware and decorative items. A friend of Diego Rivera’s, Spratling was responsible for bringing his work to the United States, after he facilitated Diego Rivera’s exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in the 1930's.
