An American designer who worked in Spain in the late 1960s before moving production to Mexico, the pre-1984 pieces are identifiable by the plain block stamp rather than the later cursive logo, and those are the ones collectors seek out. These are exactly that: JONDELL .925 MEXICO in clean block letters on the back, no cursive, which places them firmly in the more collectible early production period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is a sweeping hollow wing or leaf with two raised ribs riding the curve of the main body, the whole piece tapering to a point at the bottom. Hollow construction keeps them light on the ear despite their substantial visual presence. This is the clean sculptural line Jondell was known for, no stones, no fuss, just very confident silversmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estate excellent.
