Tiffany & Co. "Chrysanthemum" Sterling Silver Claret Spoon, the pattern designed in 1880 by Charles Grosjean (1841-1888), New York City, New York, no monograms, l. 18-1/2", 2.83 t. oz. Tiffany made this unusual implement in two sizes, of which this example was the larger. Among the rarer of Tiffany's specialized function flatware, claret spoons were used to stir sweetened claret punches or lemonades, which were served in tall, narrow pitchers.

Overall Condition: Very Good. Scattered areas of oxidation and in need of a good polishing, but otherwise no condition issues noted beyond light wear. Marked (on the underside of the stem, in the die): "Tiffany Sterling Pat. 1880 M". Unusual and rare piece.
