Tiffany
Co. Special Hand Work Silver Tea and Coffee Service

About the Item
The value of Tiffany’s “Special Hand Work” pieces on the market is considerable. In fact, a small cigar box with this mark sold at Bonhams’ April 27, 2010 auction for $61,000. To find an entire tea and coffee service with this celebrated line is quite extraordinary.
Each piece bears the Tiffany Co. mark and is struck “SPECIAL HAND WORK.” The monogram “HDW” is engraved onto each piece as well.
The pattern number “18189” indicates the set was created between 1911 and 1912. The “m” initial beneath the Tiffany stamp denotes the time period of 1907-1947, the tenure of company director John C. Moore.
