AN AMERICAN RENAISSANCE REVIVAL GILT BRONZE CENTERPIECE RETAILED BY TIFFANY & CO New York, late 19th/early 20th century

set with a black painted copper liner, the base struck twice TIFFANY & CO.

Overall in very good condition. Original gilding and finely cast. The liner has been re-painted in black. There is a small hole beneath the rim on one side, most probably as a result of the casting process. On the other side, near the handle, are two or three minute holes, which are defects of the casting process. The Tiffany & Co. stamp has been impressed twice in the same place making it difficult to decipher.
