What does the “JLF intertwined, also JFL” mark mean?
Jose Luis Flores was a Taxco silversmith who worked for William Spratling, then for Emma Melendez and for Miguel Garcia Martinez of Rancho Alegre, and also produced work on his own. His mark is the intertwined letters JLF. Some pieces made in the Miguel Garcia Martinez shop carry the letters JFL for Flores. The separate J. Flores mark is thought to be his independent signature. If your piece shows these initials with Taxco and 925, you have mid 20th century Taxco work by a trained workshop smith.
