HISTORY OF OLYMPIAN PATTERN "Tiffany Silver Flatware 1845-1905 When Dining Was an Art" by Dr. Hood and Roslyn Berlin. The Olympian pattern designed by Tiffany is an incredibly unique work of silverware. Dr. Hood and Roslyn Berlin describe it best: “The style is Academic Beaux-Arts. The patent application credits Edward C. Moore, but there is good reason to believe F. Antoine Heller also contributed. The pattern was first introduced at the Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1878. Olympian is a multi-motif pattern with seventeen (17) different handle decorations depicting subjects and stories from classical mythology. The motif varies with whether a piece has a flat or hollow handle. Each design is elaborate, and though sharply carved, can be seen to best advantage when the background is oxidized, as are all pieces offered in this listing. On the obverse of each piece, the design covers the entire handle and has an unusual horizontal orientation. Although the concept of seventeen (17) different handle designs in one flatware service was original, the idea of depicting a finely detailed scene horizontally over the entire flatware handle just as if it were a frieze .” This stuffing spoon has the mythological pattern, Motif # 3 Paris, the son of Priam; King of Troy, presenting to Venus the golden apple, he having been called upon by Juno, Minerva and Venus to adjudge the prize of beauty to the fairest of these goddesses.
