Vine was first introduced by Tiffany in the
year 1872. Its innovative multi-motif design is in the Japanese style, in
aesthetic taste, and is attributed to chief Tiffany designer, Edward C. Moore.
The motifs depicted in Vine include various fruits, vegetables, flowers, and
one grain (wheat). This rare and highly collected pattern is sometimes referred
to as "Fruits and Flowers".
Edward Moore, designer of this pattern,
dominated the first era of Tiffany made flatware and designed several full
lines of sterling patterns. Moore's father manufactured for Tiffany and upon
retirement left Edward Moore in charge at the young age of 24. In 1868 Tiffany
incorporated and bought the Moore Company, making Moore a Tiffany director and
chief designer and head of silverware operation. With his travels, he
experienced many exotic cultures and art which significantly impacted his
designs. After his death, his true genius was fully acknowledged and he as then
called "A Prince of Silversmiths.... easily the foremost silversmith in
the United States."
