Hello - I have been researching the Boston silversmith, Mary Peyton Winlock, who worked during the Arts and Crafts Movement. In a post from years ago, forum member, FredZ, mentioned that she published an article with illustrations of her spoons. I have not been able to track down the article without further details. If anyone could please share the citation for this article, I would really appreciate it. If you know of additional articles she published, I would like to read more by her. I am researching her life and career and would appreciate information on any primary source documents that you may be able to share. I am also interested in seeing more examples of her work (sometimes features the marks: M.P.W. and STERLING) for research purposes and to be able to see the breadth of her designs. I am hoping to give a paper at a conference in Fall 2014 on Winlock and publish new research on pieces by her in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Thanks for sharing information!

Winlock did not mark all of her silver, so some of these pieces have been identified stylistically by comparison to marked pieces. If you have seen similar pieces, it would be great to see more of her output. She made marmalade jar sets with enameled silver covers and matching spoons with conventionalized fruit patterns. She also made hand-wrought silver for serving tea, including tea strainers and tea caddy spoons. Please see descriptions with the posted photos. With the revival of the champlevé technique in America, Winlock created her designs by engraving on the surface of the silver, and then applying layers of different colored enamels into the engraved grooves of the design. Winlock achieved painterly results with naturalistic shading of colors for flowers and fruit. [This message has been edited by MHershon (edited 07-23-2014).] IP: Logged |

Thanks for sharing the image, ChicagoSilver. The MFAH has a similar spoon, although without an enameled bowl like your ladle. I posted the image of the similar spoon in my album. ~Marissa IP: Logged |

I will scour my reference books and binders to see if I can find the article I mentioned. I am almost certain that it was an article written by Winlock an it was illustrated. My sincere appologies to anyone who went on a wild goose chase to find the article written by Winlock. I looked through my loose bound notebooks in hopes of finding it and discovered that what I thought was written by her was instead an article written in a 1905 Keramic Studio volume on the "Making of a Silver Spoon" written by Harry S. Whitbeck. I am embarrassed by the error and my only excuse is senility. Fred [This message has been edited by FredZ (edited 07-23-2014).] IP: Logged |

Thank you, FredZ, for checking your files, and sharing the info about the article. On another note, I recently came across a 1941 census that lists Mary Peyton Winlock as a nun. So now I'm exploring this change in her focus late in life from artistic pursuits to theological with the Order of St. Anne. IP: Logged |
