Mexican Modernist Silver Tray by Antonio Pineda

Creator: Antonio Pineda
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A Mexican modernist sterling silver tray by well known silversmith Antonio Pineda (1919-2009). The handsome silver tray with a subtle hammered surface was crown marked by the artist's logo circa 1953-1979, made in his studio in Taxco, Mexico. It was further stamped with Eagle 17 and Hecho en Mexico / 930. The oval tray presents itself with an abstract design with a leaf-like handle with a string of beaded design. This may be inspired by some indigenous plant. The morphology is also ambiguous enough to be interpreted as an animal motif. The tray measures 1.75" H x 16 .125" W x 12.75" D and weighted 34.595 oz. troy.
