Japanese was designed in 1871, during
the most innovative period in the history of Tiffany silver, and it is still
one of the most popular of all Tiffany patterns. Japanese was the first Tiffany
pattern to introduce silver decorated in the Japanese revival style. The
flowing designs of branches and twigs with leaves, buds, flowers and exotic
birds were entirely different from anything in American silver at that time.
This pattern was a direct result of
the interest in exotic cultures that became widespread in the late nineteenth
century. This interest led directly into the American Art Nouveau movement,
whose leader was Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Tiffany's founder. Each piece of
Audubon is decorated with intricate designs adapted from nineteenth century
Japanese bird paintings, with eight species represented. The back of each piece
has complementary designs derived from Japanese flowers. Japanese's exquisite
detail lends itself well to a wide range of table-setting designs from traditional
to contemporary.
