Salvador Teran, mosaics and modernism
Mexico’s Salvador Teran used mosaics and brass extensively in his work, much of which is easily identified as mid-century modern. The Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks and Makers’ Marks has photographs of some of Teran’s work, along with his hallmarks. Some great pieces were sold earlier this month at Jackson’s Auction.
