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
