A friend brought by a real mixed bag of silver by tonight seeking some identifications. Most were standard coin with a bit of nice Whiting Lily and a slew of souvenir spoons. There were, however, some taste treats including a few nice Tiffany Wavy Edge pieces and these two, which I don't know. The first is a substantial placespoon with a gilt bowl.  It is marked lower case m, TIFFANY & Co., Sterling. The second is a serving spoon (of a pair) and has very rubbed marks that look vaguely like Tiffany's with a cap M.  Pardon the poor scan. The fern leaf pattern is beautifully cut and unworn. Any information would be greatly appreciated. IP: Logged |

Hello WEV, The top one is of interest to me, because it is another ANTIQUE ENGRAVED variation. Tiffany apparently made quite a few different ANTIQUE ENGRAVED patterns, but very few of them seem to show up on the antiques market. The most common is ANTIQUE IVY, which was made in some abundance. I have two other variations, which are pictured in previous posts. I have seen at least one other for sale on eBay, but this one is new to me. Glad to see it! The lower one is a piece of the highly-sought-after "Lap Over Edge". Tiffany decorated these pieces with a large number of different motifs, usually etched but sometimes applied. Looks like you have a dandy example of a fern motif here. Great piece! Brent IP: Logged |

You can read about Tiffany's Antique Engraved in the book Tiffany Silver Flatware, 1845-1905: When Dining Was an Art, by Hood et. al., published by Antique Collectors' Club in 2000, pp. 202-208. The Lap Over Edge pattern is covered extensively in the same text, pp. 219-232. IP: Logged |
