Tiffany Sterling Lap Over Edge Acid Etched Bleeding Hearts?

[dianecwms]

Does anyone know if this Tiffany Sterling Lap Over Edge Acid Etched pattern is Bleeding Hearts? I've seen dozens of acid etched images of birds, bugs, plants, and animals, but not this particular one. Thanks!

Hello
In William P. Hood, Jr’s Tiffany Silver Flatware, 1845-1905: When Dining was an Art, he gives a table of decoration names scratched by the manufacturer on a Lap Over Edge service for 12. Although not illustrated, the table lists Bleeding Heart flower on a teaspoon (p. 222).
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Thanks! I did see a photo of a spoon that said it was Bleeding Hearts with blossoms in a cluster, but it doesn't look like mine where the blossoms are in a row.

You’re welcome! Have you considered contacting Dr. Hood directly? He has seen, owned and handled a lot of Tiffany flatware.
Good luck in your ongoing research.

Multi-motif?
