Description: Three rare 1876 Tiffany sterling silver dessert plates with auspicious good luck swastika ornamentation, which have not been cleaned or polished. These can be purchased individually for $500. Or as a lot for $1275. There are faint dimples on the plates which seem to have come from being stacked on their round legs. One dimple on dish A is more noticable, but it can probably be “chased” out by a silversmith familiar with such techniques. These weigh 65 grams each, 4 5/8" in diameter, the rim edge is 1" off whatever it's on. These were from the period with Edward Moore as the Tiffany artistic director, who saw the company reach the pinnacle of international admiration and acclaim for its designs. I believe the ornamentation is related to the Japanesque style that was somewhat in vogue during that time. A matching Tiffany pie server sold for over $500 seven years ago. These plates, are part of the first wave of the ever-growing surge in popularity for the swastika symbol internationally, which ended when the Nazis came to power. It was a progressive symbol before that, which found it functioning as a symbolic identifier in jewelry of the suffragette movement,even. International shipping available at additional cost.
