While Tiffany's Italian pattern has the same silhouette as Whiting's pattern of the same name, their pattern designed by Edward C. Moore in 1870 is a bit more ornate. Moore was also known for designing Tiffany's Richilieu, Japanese (aka Audubon/ Plantation), Saratoga (aka King/ King's/ Cook), Persian, Tiffany (aka Beekman), and Olympian patterns. The Italian pattern consists of a fan and plume as well as other features.
