A fine pair of Mexican Modernist sterling silver salt & pepper shakers.
By Antonio Pineda.
With a blocky, stepped Modernist design.
Pineda (1919 - 2009) was one of the foremost silversmiths of the 20th Century in the silver mecca of Taxco, Mexico. He apprenticed for William Spratling & Valentin Vidauretta before opening his own workshop in 1939. Pineda had a meteoric rise after his work's inclusion in a 1944 exhibition in California attracted international attention. Pineda would go on to obtain multiple partnerships with various retailers across North America, host exhibitions of his work across the globe, and even add sculpture to his repertoire.
