Artifact Overview
Founded in Chicago in 1900 by female graduates of the school at the Art Institute, the Kalo Shop grew into the most important American Arts and Crafts silver studio in the United States. Initially producing leather goods and other crafts, by 1910 they turned their attention to jewelry and silver. This elegant bowl reflects their motto, "beautiful, useful, and enduring."
