| This is a pair of gorgeous sterling silver dishes by premier American silversmiths Tiffany & Co. Each shaped oval dish stands on four elegant bracket feet embellished with leaf and flower scrolls. Each has a plain bowl with lobed sides and is framed with a sculptural wavy border of shells, scrolls, and flowers that playfully meander around the rim. This lovely Rococo Revival design was the height of fashion when these dishes were made, representing the best taste and craftsmanship. Each dish is in excellent condition and is a very heavy gauge. Each dish measures approx. 11” long, 9 ¼” wide, and 2 ½” high, and together weighs approx. 53 troy ounces. Their height makes a particularly striking statement, and would add variety to any table setting. Each is marked under the base with the mark of Tiffany & Co., the words Makers, Sterling Silver 925-1000, pattern number 2947, order number 7031, and the letter M for Edward C. Moore, head os Tiffany’s silver production from 1873-1891. These antique silver dishes are lovely examples of Tiffany’s fine craftsmanship in a sumptuous and elegant design. This pair of serving dishes or bowls is wonderfully decorative and exceptionally versatile. Price: $9,500.00 pr. Stock #BC479 |
