Preowned and vintage Joaquin Taller Tinta Ecuador Gemstone Art Bird MCM Silver Smith Sculpture. Seen these called silver, silver plate sterling silver, Comes up silver plate for me and selling it as such. Silverplated figure by renowned silversmith Taller Tinta.

Some fun info found online about this cool Modernist artist! Tinta was known for having worked with other well-known artists including Ecuadorian artist, Oswaldo Guayasamín. The original taller was established in 1880 by his grandfather in Sangolqui, Ecuador. Sangolqui is a small town in the state of Pichincha in the Ecuadorian highlands, and the region is known as the cradle of silversmith.

Measure close to 3" tall. 4" wide and 1 5/8" deep at very bottom. Weight is 5 1/2 oz. Marked EC for Ecuador and Taller Tinta. This piece looks in good vintage preowned condition with tarnishing light scratches and scuffs, silver plating loss pictured, should polish up nicely if into shiny. Good condition for age.

Guessing made 1950's - 1970's. Cool find! Shipping prices for the lower 48 states only. Delivery signature confirmation will be required on this piece.

Please check pictures for description and condition.

Shipping prices are for the lower 48 states only. Contact us first before purchasing if you are outside the lower 48 states for shipping cost, for example Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico. Also all excessive shipping cost will be refunded
