Bowls unusually, somewhat rectangular in shape. Small and big piercings with a central starburst flower and foliage radiating around it with scalloped holes around the border. Nice, solid-looking join (rattail) of sides to the arched back with CC (C for Camp) monogram engraved on one side. Design has a festive, slightly oriental feel to it. Some of Tiffany's best silver designs were created during the period when Edward Moore was manager of the company and this is a good example of great artistic merit combined with the best in craftmanship. <P><P>
