A hollowware blueprint for Coffee Pot #4758 appears close in design concept to this coffee pot, however this drawing is a decorative design scheme for decoration #390.' Please notice the notation at the far left top corner of the drawing: there is a notation for pattern #4759, suggesting that the two patterns were designed as comparables.'\r\n\r\nA facsimile copy of this drawing (for reference not reproduction) is held in the V&A metalwork collection's object files.","historicalContext":"Moore was chief designer and supervisor of Tiffany's silver manufactory from 1868 to 1890.
