Presented is a fine Tiffany & Co sterling silver serving spoon. This spoon is made in the ornate Persian pattern, which began production in 1872. This spoon in particular undoubtedly dates close to the start of the pattern's production, within the last quarter of the 1800s. As the name suggests, this pattern features intricate Middle Eastern aesthetic designs on the handle, against a finely textured background. The spoon has a monogram of VM in flowing script.
This piece is in great condition. There are no splits, no breaks, no dents, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The stem of each piece is stamped 'sterling' and with the maker's mark for Tiffany & Co, as well as the initial M for the company director between c1872-1891, Edward Moore and the patent date for the pattern, 1872.
The spoon is about 8 5/8 inches long.
This piece weighs 76 grams or 2.7 regular ounces.
