Roses in Repoussé

This superb sterling silver compote is from the Maciel Silver Factory, which was based in Mexico City from 1930 through 1970.  The company was renown for its high quality hand hammered sterling  tableware, flatware, and jewelry. 




The floral pattern is known as Aztec rose.  The roses are in repoussé, meaning that they were hammered into relief from the reverse side.


Underneath the compote carries the Marciel mark.
