This outstanding pair of Tiffany & Co. sterling silver entrée dishes displays the popular and distinctive Chrysanthemum pattern. This exuberant motif's signature flowers grace the antique dishes from the looped handled to the charming scrolled feet. Sheer brilliance of workmanship embodies the essence of the Chrysanthemum pattern, which is still considered Tiffany's best and most elegant.
Introduced in 1878 and patented in 1880 (patent no. 11968), Chrysanthemum was the work of Charles T. Grosjean, one of the most influential silversmiths in Tiffany's history. Grosjean's designs are among the most enduring of the Tiffany patterns and include Chrysanthemum, Lap-over-Edge, and English King. Chrysanthemum, however, 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 pattern was carried over to many forms of hollowware as well, which also enjoyed tremendous popularity. Chrysanthemum is still considered the top pattern Tiffany & Co. ever produced and this opulent pair of dishes exudes the style and sophistication the pattern represents.
