Mexican Silver

To learn about Mexican silver, the book of the same title, by Penny Chittim Morrill & Carole A. Berk, is the best source of information I have found. You can obtain it directly from the publisher, Schiffer Publishing Ltd.

This is the publishers description:

"Here is the powerful story of the silver renaissance in Mexico from the 1920s to the present. The wealth of color photos showcases the incomparable beauty of these works in silver. Extensive research sheds new light on the life and art of William Spratling, Margot van Voorhies, Fred Davis, and Hubert Harmon, and on the artisans who worked for them, making this book the definitive study of Mexican silver jewelry and decorative objects."

To understand why this silver is special, and to know what to look for when you buy, this book is invaluable.
