In 1970, Roger Hallowell (President, Reed & Barton,
1953-1971), hired craftsman and designer Robert
Johnson to help develop a line of Damascene
products. Due to the technique's popularity with
consumers, what began as a collection of limited
edition plates, soon expanded to include wall plaques,
jewelry and other items.
