THE WEIGHT OF THIS ANTIQUE TIFFANY STERLING SILVER TABLE PIECE IS 21.2 OZ. IT MEASURES 4 INCHES IN HEIGHT 6 1/8 X 3 1/2 AT THE WIDEST POINTS.
IT IS MARKED ON THE BOTTOM: TIFFANY & CO, ENGLISH STERLING, 925*1000, 550 BROADWAY, AND M IN A ROUND CARTOUCHE STRUCK TWICE (J C MOORE & SON, MAKER -1854-1869), 1421 (PATTERN NUMBER 1860-1864), 248 (ORDER NUMBER). SEE PHOTO THIS MAGNIFICENT TIFFANY TABLE PIECE FEATURES 2 THREE DIMENSIONAL PUTTO (cherubic infant) MOUNTED ON A STAND WITH SILVER RETAINERS. THEIR HANDS SUPPORT AN OVAL DISH BEHIND THEIR BACKS. THE TOP RIM IS SURMOUNTED ON EITHER SIDE WITH TWO DIMENSIONAL MASKED DEMON'S HEADS. THE PIECE WAS ORIGINALLY INTERNALLY GILDED AND IT RETAINS MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL COLOR. THE BODY OF THE PIECE HAS AN ENGINE TURNED PATTERN ON THE RIM. THE CIRCUMFERENCE IS DECORATED WITH AN ABSTRACT AND FLORAL PATTERN. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PIECE WAS MEANT FOR CAVIAR, OR SOME OTHER SPICY CONDIMENT BECAUSE OF THE GILDING OF THE INTERIOR. WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE PIECE WAS MEANT TO BE UNCOVERED BECAUSE OF THE POSITIONING OF THE DEMONS THAT WOULD MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR A LID TO FIT. THE PIECE IS MONOGRAMMED ON THE FRONT BASE WITH THE INITIALS MHK (SEE PHOTO). A FABULOUS ANTIQUE TIFFANY QUALITY MADE BY MOORE FOR THE CONNOISSEUR'S TABLE.
