I thought that I would post some images of a Tiffany fork that I recently came across to see if anyone else has ever seen such wonderful detail on a piece of Tiffany Persian flatware before. The fork is 8 inches in length and has an all over design, meaning the details (which I hope is visable in the image) is consistant throughout the piece. From the tip of the tines, to a floral design on the backside of the fork. FRONT BACK backstamp handle design IP: Logged |

Carla, Any chance you could provide some extreme closeups? Tines? Cartouche? Mark area? Heel? IP: Logged |

Unfortunately, the details are not that easy to capture via image. When looking at the piece in person, my first reaction was that it looked like the piece was damaged in a fire but upon closer inspection, I found that there was a pattern to the design. Perhaps the best example of this is the image of the backstamp (from first posting), where you can see the overall design effect in the best detail. Plus, if there was fire damage, how would the backstamp and other pattern details hold up so well? IP: Logged |

Carla, Can you tell how these were manufactured? Struck, chased or cast? IP: Logged |

I believe that the 'finish' was done in the die process of production because it is consistent over the entire piece. Perhaps they did not buff the piece during production? Who knows...thanks for trying though! [This message has been edited by carlaz (edited 10-27-2005).] IP: Logged |

I also have not seen a piece of Tiffany Persian with this kind of "design" on the functional end. It appears to me to be die-stamped. IP: Logged |
