Never heard of Fortino Mota?
In The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks, Bille Hougart writes, “Fortino Mota was one of the silversmith maestros who worked for Antonio Pineda during the 1950s and 1960s.” You can see the marks on pages 123-124.
Vintage jewelry by Fortino Mota comes around once in a while, but not too often. At the time of this post there are just a few pieces by this maestro on eBay right now:
