William Spratling Sterling Butterfly Brooch
Extraordinary sterling with copper butterfly brooch by silver master, William Spratling. The mate to this amazing piece is on the cover of the recently published revised edition of "Mexican Silver: Modern Hand-wrought Jewelry and Metalwork" by Morrill and Berk. Measures an astounding 4" tall and 3 1/2" wide; 1940-46 hallmark. Has 2 tiny dents that could be hammered out but I did not feel were distracting enough to do so. Essentially in excellent, original condition. This is truly an awesome piece of jewelry.
