No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this.

He married Cynthia Vela, also a UIW graduate, in 1975, and they enjoyed 40 years together. After finding his artistic passion in creating beautiful, handmade, one of a kind pottery, Walt and Cynthia opened their shop, Village Gallery, in San Antonio's historic La Villita and a production studio in McQueeney, Texas. He and Cynthia loved participating in craft fairs around the country with a special fondness for the "Starving Artists Show" along the San Antonio River Walk and La Villita. They enjoyed a successful artistic venture for over forty years and their pottery has been appreciated across the globe. His unique pottery was collected by dignitaries from around the world, including the Queen of England, Ronald Reagan, and other notables, as well as being featured by San Antonio's sister city in Japan. As a master potter, Walt enjoyed mentoring professional potters from around the world, sharing his technique and skill. Later in his career, he loved teaching Ceramics at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas where he contributed both in and out of the classroom. With the help of TLU students and faculty, he introduced the "Empty Bowls Project" to the Seguin area, raising funds to help feed the hungry.

Warren Cullar "Arm Chair Dreams" Acrylic on Canvas Austin Texas Listed Artist<br>12" x 16" with no issues or damage.<br><br>Warren Cullar opened his first art gallery as a senior in college. After<br>receiving a BFA in 1965, he joined a staff of six artists in a commercial ad<br>agency and as he says: “I learned more in that one year than I did in 5 years in<br>college." A bigger job was offered to him and he spent a brief career as an<br>advertising director in a large department store. A move to Mexico to study art<br>at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende was a major influence. The<br>color of Mexico is evident throughout the art he has produced during his career.<br>With an MFA degree under his belt, he received a teaching contract from Hardin<br>Simmons University in Abilene, Texas and later opened the art department at<br>Western Texas College, completing 8 years of experience as a college art<br>instructor.<br><br><br>After spending the summer of 1976 in Egypt on a study grant that he had received<br>from the college, he made the decision to become a full-time professional<br>artist. He came to the Austin area and opened an art gallery and 5 years later<br>moved into the Austin home he has now occupied for over 30 years.<br><br>Warren started his art career by selling his hand pulled stone lithographs and<br>watercolors. In the December 1978 issue of Southwest Art Magazine, he was<br>featured in an 11-page article about his art. He continued to produce<br>watercolors and enjoyed selling his work in art fairs in Texas, Colorado, and<br>California.<br><br>In 1982 he read a magazine article about the need for an adventure artist and<br>began traveling the world using his skills as an artist on scientific<br>expeditions in Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Spain, and Easter Island, to name a few<br>of the 49 countries stamped in his passport. Warren travels the world with a<br>sketchbook and watercolors to record his impressions of the various cultures and<br>peoples he encounters.<br><br>In the early 90’s he built an 840 sq. ft. painting studio on the back of his<br>wooded property and took up acrylic painting; then he produced hand-pulled<br>serigraphs and soft ground etchings. One of his collectors asked him to create a<br>sculpture for women who had survived breast cancer. The sculpture was completed<br>and he was captivated by working with clay. That was the first bronze he had<br>created since his student days in Mexico. A large bronze commission was awarded<br>to him and a new direction emerged. Today Warren laughs at the thought that for<br>20 years painting in watercolor was all he ever wanted to do. In 2004 he built a<br>second studio dedicated to sculpture.<br><br>Today, Warren and his wife, Kitty Biel, who has a dual career as an independent<br>CPA , Cruise Planner, and Travel Agent, live and work from their spacious home,<br>two studios and sculpture garden in Austin, Texas. You can find Kitty working in<br>her treetop office on the second floor of their home and Warren creating in the<br>sculpture or painting studio.<br>alt<br><br><br>Warren is an accomplished sculptor and painter, and he extends the opportunity<br>for you to visit, explore his galleries/studios and gardens. You will quickly<br>discover that he simply loves to create and recognizes opportunities to do so in<br>all areas of their space, from the kitchen mosaic on the breakfast room floor to<br>the backsplash in the kitchen made from fish fossils he dug in Wyoming. Warren’s<br>passion for creativity and his seemingly boundless energy keep him constantly<br>moving forward in new directions. In addition to creating new paintings and<br>sculpture, Warren’s goals for the immediate future include finding new<br>opportunities for young artists and he has already coordinated an apprentice<br>program with the local high schools.

A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this.

William Lawrence deMatteo (1923-1988) Hand Hammered Sterling silver leaf dish<br>6.5" x 4.5" x 114.5 grams with no issues.<br><br>William Lawrence deMatteo (12 October 1923–14 May 1988), silversmith and master<br>craftsman, was born in New York City and was the son of Elizabeth Rommelman<br>deMatteo and William Gaitano deMatteo, an accomplished silversmith who<br>immigrated to the United States from Acciaroli, Salerno, Italy, with his family<br>when he was a boy. William Lawrence deMatteo grew up in suburban Bergenfield,<br>New Jersey, and attended schools in nearby Tenafly, all the while observing and<br>absorbing his father's skillful work. DeMatteo began studying sculpture and fine<br>arts at Columbia University in 1941, but after the United States entered World<br>War II he joined the navy in November 1942 and served in the Pacific theater as<br>a torpedo er pilot. On 14 November 1946, in Asbury Park, he married Jayne<br>Walpole, a painter who later cofounded an art gallery. They had three daughters<br>and one son. DeMatteo resumed his apprenticeship with his father and may have<br>continued his studies at Columbia before being recalled to active duty with the<br>navy during the Korean War. He was discharged in 1953.<br><br>Bill deMatteo, as he was usually known, visited the restored capital of colonial<br>Virginia while he was still in the service and asked to see the silversmith's<br>shop. Told that Colonial Williamsburg had none, he saw an opportunity for<br>himself. Soon after deMatteo left the navy, he returned to Williamsburg and in<br>July 1953 joined the staff as a silversmith. He created the entire silversmith<br>program and was responsible for the James Geddy Silversmith's Shop, where he<br>trained shopkeepers in interpreting craftsmanship to visitors, instructed and<br>supervised apprentices in all kinds of metalworking, and handcrafted<br>reproductions of eighteenth-century silver items for sale in the shop. DeMatteo<br>also revived colonial silversmith James Craig's Williamsburg shop, "At the Sign<br>of the Golden Ball." In January 1963 deMatteo was promoted to Staff Master<br>Craftsman and Master Silversmith.<br><br>In accord with Colonial Williamsburg's motto—that the future may learn from the<br>past—deMatteo spent much of his time in educational and advertising efforts.<br>Working from a research report that Colonial Williamsburg staff member Thomas K.<br>Bullock had prepared, in 1956 deMatteo published The Silversmith in<br>Eighteenth-Century Williamsburg–An Account of his Life & Times, & of his Craft,<br>a short history of silversmithing and techniques used in colonial days. DeMatteo<br>also provided much of the information for a 1971 video program, Silversmith of<br>Williamsburg, and the accompanying manual. In the film he demonstrated every<br>stage of making an eighteenth-century silver coffeepot, beginning with receiving<br>silver coins or scraps to be melted, discussing details of the commission with a<br>customer, methods and design, and shaping the piece with his hammer and<br>burnishing the completed coffeepot. In 1971 and 1972, deMatteo studied design,<br>silversmithing, and methods at Sir John Cass Department of Art of the City<br>London Polytechnic, and with professional London silversmiths; in 1975 he became<br>the first American craftsman to be elected an honorary foreign associate of the<br>Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, in London.<br><br>As his skill became apparent to staff and visitors, deMatteo received many<br>requests to design and craft commemorative gifts. A town-crier's bell that he<br>made for Colonial Williamsburg to present to Sir Winston Churchill in 1955<br>appeared in a picture of Churchill on the cover of Life magazine the following<br>year. DeMatteo designed presentation pieces for the White House Correspondents'<br>Association annual presentations to Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B.<br>Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, and Jimmy Carter. He designed<br>numerous handcrafted gifts for visiting presidents, queens, kings, and prime<br>ministers, and the Department of State commissioned deMatteo to craft silver<br>trays for presentation to Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime<br>minister Menachem Begin at the Camp David Accords in 1978.<br><br>For a commission from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1976 in<br>recognition of the centennial of Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the<br>telephone, deMatteo produced an abstract silver piece, a departure from his<br>colonial-style masterpieces, inscribed with Bell's first words transmitted over<br>his telephone. Despite his finesse, he was a modest man who insisted that he was<br>a craftsman, not an artist. DeMatteo was content to make beautiful utilitarian<br>objects that he believed did not rise to the level of imagination and required<br>of an artist. His devotion to excellence was acknowledged by the American<br>Institute of Architects, which in 1960 gave him its craftsmanship medal for high<br>achievement in industrial arts.<br><br>After twenty-six years with Colonial Williamsburg, in 1979 deMatteo left and<br>moved with his family to Alexandria. Together with his son, Chip deMatteo, and<br>Philip Thorp, a colleague at Colonial Williamsburg, he opened Hand & Hammer<br>Silversmiths. DeMatteo continued to explore and extend his range beyond<br>eighteenth-century forms. He was an affable man, noted for his disarming smile.<br>He was an intense perfectionist who was deaf to his surroundings while sitting<br>at his bench shaping precious metals with his hammer. He was also a resourceful<br>artisan who was known to make his own hammers when he failed to find suitable<br>ones in the market. DeMatteo once remarked that "being a silversmith is just a<br>delightful, lovely way to go through life" and that while he was not fully<br>satisfied with his silver work he was "very satisfied with the life I lead."<br>William Lawrence deMatteo died of leukemia at an Alexandria hospital on 14 May<br>1988. His son, who continued to work at the Hand & Hammer Silversmiths,<br>preserved his ashes.
