Kirk & Son Sterling Silver Repousse Vegetable Serving Bowl Platter.Samuel Kirk and Son, Baltimore's premier silverware manufacturing firm was founded in 1815 by Samuel Kirk after he finished his apprenticeship under James Howell in Philidelphia. Samuel relocated to Baltimore and began a partnership with John Smith. The partnership was dissolved in 1821 and in 1846 Kirk's eldest son Henry Child Kirk became a partner. During this time Samuel Kirk introduced Repousse to America. His work was probably influenced by East Indian silversmiths but his designs are distinctly his own.
