Note: This pattern in silverplate was used aboard Mr. Allison Vincent Armour's (American 1863-1941), research steamer yacht 'Utowana'. Upon the engagement of Mr. Armour's daughter, she requested the pattern be cast in sterling silver for a wedding present. Tiffany cast this service in solid silver and then destroyed the dies. The other half of this service remains in private hands in Italy.
