These exceptional silver covered entrée dishes by Tiffany & Co. are crafted in the highly desirable Chrysanthemum pattern. This exuberant motif's signature flowers grace the dishes from the looped handles to the charming scrolled feet. Chrysanthemum is acclaimed as one of Tiffany's most treasured silver patterns and found particular favor with Victorian socialites and new brides, despite the fact that it was one of the most expensive of the Tiffany patterns to produce. 

The Chrysanthemum pattern was introduced in 1878 and patented on September 21, 1880 (patent 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.
