TIFFANY & CO. Two Handled Vase
Aesthetics Movement; decorated with morning glories on a hammered ground
maker's marks and numbered 3765 M 6480
height: 8 3/8 in.; 16.79 ozt.
Other Notes: Presentation along top rim reads E.S.M. from T.M. November 19 1877.
Given the markings on the underside, this piece is likely produced under the leadership of Edward Moore, who was the head of the silver department at Tiffany & Co. from 1854 to 1891. One of the major creative forces who led the company to great success during the second half of the 19th century, Moore sought inspiration in objects from around the world. Through his travels, Moore amassed a large collection of items from ancient Greece and Rome, Europe, Asia, and the Islamic world. Those working under Moore during his tenure would have had access to the collection, leading to innovation within the workshops and a legacy of exceptional artistry.
