Vintage Mid Century Tanosa Luxury Brand Mexican Sterling Silver Small Dish

$95.00

Vintage Mexican sterling silver mid century dish made by Tanosa. The front has an incised mark, Tanosa along with 2 small hallmarks; a star in a crescent moon and a very tiny circle make with the letter B below the numbers 540 or it could be 5 with a pictoral mark and a zero. Very tiny and hard to read. It also has a center raised stylized water well emblem which served as Tonosa’s unique maker mark during the mid 20th century. The  factory catalog number of 60-0-73 is also stamped into the front. Additionally, it is tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver; not plated. Size is 3 3/4″ across in diameter by 1/2″ deep. It is all hand crafted with a delicately gadrooned edge, much like a small sawtooth cut. Overall condition is excellent, gently used. It is from an estate from many years ago and could use a fresh polishing. Weight is 28 grams.

During the 1950s through the 1970s, Mexico City was a major hub for world-class silver craftsmanship, home to famous houses like Sanborns, Maciel, and Maricela. Tanosa established itself firmly within this luxury market, crafting fine sterling tableware, coin-rimmed dishes, and decorative holloware that was highly popular with both affluent locals and international tourists visiting the capital.
The piece’s construction is consistent with high-grade Mexican sterling, which frequently ranges between .925 and .950 purity and is widely collected today for its exceptional historical charm
