Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver 1904 Blackberry Bowl in Art Nouveau Style

Tiffany & Co. sterling silver blackberry bowl, in pattern number 16152 from 1904, in Art Nouveau style beautifully adorned with raised blackberries, leaves, and curvilinear motifs on the rim. It measures 10'' in diameter (8'' excluding the rim) by 2 3/4'' in height, weighs 20 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks as shown. A very similar bowl is shown as characteristic of Tiffany's craftsmanship in the book "Tiffany Silver" by Charles Carpenter (page 68, see photo). 

The legendary Tiffany brand was founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in Connecticut as a "stationery and fancy goods emporium," with the help of Charles Tiffany's father who financed the store for only $1,000 with profits from a cotton mill. Tiffany & Co. soon became a highly regarded brand for jewelry, gemstones, and silver. In 1845, Tiffany was a pioneer when it launched the Blue Book, which at the time was the first mail-order catalog to be distributed in the US. In 1878, Tiffany won the gold medal for jewelry and a grand prize for silverware at the Paris World Fair Exposition. The luxury brand’s enduring legacy remains vibrant to this day.
