Featured English Tiffany Marks and History

All,

I picked up some lovely pieces of british sterling, produced by Tiffany & Co in England. I believe the teapot predates the demitasse service but I am curious if anyone has an informative history of Tiffany's presence in the UK.

 

There's lots of information on Tiffany's web site. And wikipedia.org's entry provides links to articles on Tiffany's history. One of your pieces appears to carry the retailer's 550 Broadway address by which you'll be able to date it.

The A.W.F. is Albert William Feavearyear for Tiffany, the second one is J.C. Moore for Tiffany.

 

Thank you. I believe that JC Moore is 1854-1869. Any insight on Feavearyear, anundveraufen?

 

Most people say he was a manager of a Tiffany shop, I don't know if that's true or if he was an importer/sponsor of Tiffany made items. I haven't found anything on dates for his relationship with Tiffany. This site says he was registered in London in 1892 and also mentions the manager bit.

Maybe @DragonflyWink or @Bakersgma knows something.

 

I wish! You're way ahead of me on that unusual name.

Very nice find, Danno!

 

Thank you, Baker. any thoughts on this aspect of the feavearyear piece?

 

That's the 1910 date letter P so after the import F was required.

 

Well done!

 

Seems to be part of a coat of arms or organizational motto. Beaver?

If this site is to be believed, it the device from a Craig family crest. Look at the second row down, on the right for more info.

So it probably came back to the U.S. with this guy, when he moved to New Mexico.

Very thorough research and well founded deduction!

 

Small point. With import marks, they'd not have been produced by Tiffany IN England, but rather imported to here.

And this does, by the way, rather scupper all those who claim 925 is a "recent" mark.
