About the Item

A vintage Mexican sterling silver bowl by the maker C. Zurita. With a nod to the eponymous design firm, Georg Jensen, this piece exhibits a bold, Modernist style with a wide, low profile, scalloped corners and a banded foot. Marked on the bottom. This bowl has recently been hand polished. From the silvercollection site, "C. ZURITA manufacturer mainly of hollowware. Retailers were Perlita and Caral. Eagle 1 and registration number TZ-05." Some information on Mexican Modernist style silver from the jasper52 site, "Beginning in the 1930s, silver workshops clustered in the mining town of Taxco spearheaded a revival in this traditional craft in Mexico. At the same time, the artists and artisans working there took a new direction in design that mixed age-old motifs from native cultures with 20th century Modernism. The objects and jewelry they produced have become extremely popular with discerning collectors. Each piece provides a hands-on aesthetic appeal when used or worn. In other words, this silver makes daily life a little more beautiful."
