Blanchard



Porter Blanchard taught his
son-in-law and renowned designer Allan Adler (the silversmith to the
stars) the craft of silversmithing and was the one of the founders of the
Arts Crafts movement in California, after moving from Boston where 5
generations had been in silversmithing.



Blanchard bridged the Arts and Crafts and Modern movements.

Blanchard's exploration into progressive design began with the silver he
exhibited at the 1928 Exhibition of the Decorative Arts at the National Arts
Club in New York, where his innovative "Dinner knife - solid handle"
represents the earliest known departure from the traditional hollow knife
handle.
