[17-0232, 20-0232] Can anybody supply me with information on this silversmith? I have to small salts in sterling silver, the bowls are enameled in green,on the bottom there is the mark "Pearson Sterling". The underside of the bowls are plain silver, the spoon is also plain. I was told that this could be the work of an American silversmith called Pearson who died in 1996. The box in which they came has a sticker in red and white with a stylized "1" and "Shop one" underneath that. Any information or links would be greatly appreciated. Andy. IP: Logged |

Great set. Your salts are definitely the work of Ronald Hays Pearson, noted modern silversmith and studio jeweler. Shop One was a prominent outlet for modernist jewelry in Rochester, NY. W. Scott Braznell gave a talk about Mr. Pearson at a NYU Silver conference a few years ago. I will dig out my notes and see what more I can tell you. These are definitely a keeper! Brent IP: Logged |

A bit more: Mr Pearson, lived musch of his later life in Deer Isle, Maine. He did indeed die in 1996. He was one of the founders of Shop 1, the first American gallery devoted entirely to modern crafts. It opened in 1952. I'll see what else I can dig up for you! Brent IP: Logged |

My recollection is that Ronald was an early graduate of the School of American Craftsmen. He was a strong influence on many of us growing up during the 60's. He was well represent in most of the literature of the period and his strength was his ability to create line and form with the forged object. The salt spoon is a fine example of this. He is sorely missed by we who respected his work. IP: Logged |
