VINTAGE NEVER-OWNED INVENTORY - Mint Condition
This item comes from a shop operated in Portland, Oregon from the 1940's - 1969. Any wear is consistent with age and storage. Some natural oxidation is normal for silver. I have not cleaned or buffed the patina off, as some customers prefer it.
My mother owned a chic little place known as the Mexican Craft Shop, which carried handblown glassware, handmade pottery, stunning SW Indian and Mexican jewelry, baskets, textiles, leather goods, and clothing. This item was part of her inventory. After many years of waiting patiently in storage, these items are ready for a new home... and a new story.
