What does the “Tiffany & Co. M Mark” mark mean?
This hallmark was introduced in 1853, the year Charles Tiffany bought out his partners and renamed the firm Tiffany & Co. The presence of the "M" mark denotes the work of John Chandler Moore, the company's chief silversmith at the time. This transitional mark reflects the shift from the Tiffany, Young & Ellis partnership to the newly independent Tiffany & Co., marking the beginning of a new era in American luxury silver manufacturing.
