A sketch of Chaucer’s whippletree blossoms by this head designer who is no more, was recently turned into a precious spouted container by a similarly precious company wherein one could browse but probably not have breakfast. What container?

A watering Can with a dogwood motif was offered earlier this year by Tiffany and Co., for the flowery price of 35K USD. The design was from a sketch by 19th century Tiffany head designer Edward C. Moore. (He was one of the Co.) Whippletree is another name for dogwood.

Excellent job! Also: "Another earlier name of the dogwood in English is the whipple-tree. Geoffrey Chaucer uses the word whippletree in the Canterbury Tales (The Knight's Tale, verse 2065) to refer to the dogwood." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogwood Jul 12 09, 7:48 PM
