Designed by Charles
Grosjean (1841-1888). Grosjean worked in his family's firm which produced high
end silverware to prominent New York City retailers, including Tiffany.
Upon his father's death, Grosjean left his family firm to become superintendent
of Tiffany's silver factory in 1868. He had great background in silver and was
an artist and was referred to as "one of the best living decorators
of silver". He was a teacher in the Tiffany School and designed a few full
lines of sterling patterns for Tiffany in his time with the company including
Chrysanthemum and English King.
