1902 Sterling Silver 3-Handle Tyge
Prototype for Copeland Tyge
This hallmarked Sterling Silver 3-Handle Tyge is dated 1902. It is the prototype for the 1905 Copeland pottery piece that mirrors this silver example. The Copeland pottery piece that resulted from this prototype is itself very rare, but we can reasonable presume that this silver 3-handle tyge is unique.
(The Copeland tyge depicted in the final photograph is for sale elsewhere in this auction, but is provided here to show the comparison between the prototype and the final product)
