About the Item

Towle and Earl Pardon enameled sterling silver bowl, in Mid-Century Modern style with an elegant, geometric design, with vibrant yellow and blue enameled hues, from the mid-20th century. It measures 7 1/2'' in diameter by 1 1/2''in height, weighs 9.3 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks as shown. Towle Silversmiths is an American silver manufacturer originally founded in 1857 as Towle & Jones by Anthony Francis Towle and William P. Jones– two apprentices to the Moulton family of silversmiths. Over the years, Towle has created numerous sterling silver flatware patterns in the United States: including the "Marie Louise" in 1939 which became the official sterling silver pattern for U.S. embassies worldwide, "Old Master" in 1942, now considered by some to be the company’s flagship pattern, and the "Contour" in 1950 (designed by Robert J. King, patented by John Van Koert) which was the first American sterling pattern to manifest post-World War II organic modernist design and the only production-line American flatware included in the Museum of Modern Art's Good Design exhibitions. Earl Pardon, who trained as a painter, taught courses in jewelry, enameling, painting, and sculpture throughout his long career at Skidmore College from 1951 to 1988. According to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, "Earl Pardon was one of the most influential American studio jewelers of the postwar era. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Pardon attended the Memphis College of Art and studied with Dorothy Sturm (1910 – 1988), a remarkable artist and teacher who straddled the fields of modern painting, collage, and enameling. Sturm introduced Pardon to enameling, which became his favorite mode of expression. In 1950 he was accepted as a participant in the silversmithing conference sponsored by Handy and Harman and, while there, broadened his appreciation for hollowware. Pardon was invited to Newburyport in 1954 for a one-year appointment as designer-in-residence under Bill DeHart. Pardon’s interest in enamel was evident at this early date, and his chief contribution was the color note in enamel that energized Towle’s new offerings. For the first visit by the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts to London in 316 years, Pardon designed a silver and enamel bowl for Queen Elizabeth II and an enameled cigar box for Sir Winston Churchill. Following his experience at Towle, Pardon returned to Skidmore and focused almost exclusively on teaching and jewelry making." His designs may be found in major national collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
