I have inherited a Tiffany Sterling silver bowl about 10" in diameter set on three
legs each ending in a "hoof". There is also
a central pillar. The legs and the pillar stand on base - circular with three square
abutments - one for each hoof. The whole piece stands about 8" high.

The base has the following marks:-

Tiffany & Co.

2277

Quality
925-1000

1036
Union Square

I have searched the internet to try to
find out more about this item but have not
yet been able to identify it. However on this
forum I did see a piece with a similar "hoof"
on its legs.

I would appreciate any ideas readers may have. The only information I have is that it
was a gift to my mother in approx 1930.

Many Thanks,

George Dawson - England

Tiffany & Co. was located at Union Square in Manhatttan from 1870 to 1905. The number "2277" is a pattern number, and "1036" is the order number. The pattern number of your piece corresponds to a date of manufacture of about 1870-1871. Sorry, but can't tell you anything about the design of your centerpiece bowl.

Many Thanks for this information. It helps me understand the history of the bowl.
