A magnificent 10-piece tea service created by the famed Tiffany & Company in the ever-popular Chysanthemum pattern. Introduced in 1880, Chrysanthemum is considered among Tiffany's most beautiful and luxurious designs. The motif's namesake flower is expertly applied to each piece in the set, for a natural yet classically elegant appearance. A complete tea and coffee service of this size and in such wonderful condition is a rare find, indeed. This set is comprises a large, two-handled tray, a hot water kettle with burner, two coffee pots, a tea pot, a chocolate pot, subtly gilded covered sugar bowl, creamer and waste bowls, and sugar tongs. Engraved with the initials "APL." An almost identical set is featured in Tiffany Silver by Charles H. Carpenter, Jr. and Mary Grace Carpenter. All pieces are marked TIFFANY & Co. STERLING SILVER. Circa 1890 Tea Kettle: 13 ¼" highTray: 18" wide x 28" long Tiffany & Co.'s Chrysanthemum pattern is one of the most magnificent and celebrated sterling silver designs of the 19th century. It was introduced in 1878 and patented on September 21, 1880 (no. 11968) by Charles T. Grosjean, one of the most influential silversmiths in Tiffany's history. The son of a silversmith who emigrated to the United States in 1836, Grosjean's father sold pieces to Tiffany during the 1850s. The younger Grosjean joined Tiffany as the manager of the company's prince Street silverworks and he quickly became a driving force in the overall success of Tiffany's silver business.
