About the Item

A 1960's wood and sterling silver cup by American designer and silvermaker William Spratling. The rounded cup is held on a squared base. The cup shows 6 sterling silver oval medallions and a plaque "SQUIBB", refering to the work's sponsor, the Squibb Corporation (now known as Bristol Myers Squibb). The cup has the Spratling seal on its bottom, under the squared base. William Spratling (1900 - 1967) was an American silver designer and artist, known as the reformer and main innovator of Mexican silver industry. Born in New York, Spratling studied architecture in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (currently Auburn University). He studied Mexican architecture in the Summer School of the Nacional University of Mexico (UNAM). In 1931, moved by the changing situation in Mexico, he established in Taxco, a mining city that lacked a silverworking industry. With the help of many Mexican silversmiths, Spratling established the new style of Mexican jewelry and silver with Pre-Columbian informed designs that became very popular. His legacy lives on between the always exciting silver industry in Taxco.
