Alphonse La Paglia (1907-1953) was a Sicilian born silversmith who studied and trained under Georg Jensen in Denmark. In the early 1940's he came to the U.S. and settled in NJ. In 1952 he established a working relationship with the International Silver Co. and moved his workshop to Meriden CT and established the International Sterling Crafts Associates. Shortly thereafter in 1953, at the age of 46, he died and his designs became the property of International. The International Sterling Crafts Associates was disbanded in 1957. Many of his designs bore the direct influence of George Jensen.
