While Tiffany & Co. presented works at multiple international expositions, specific marks were created to denote pieces sent to the expositions in Chicago in 1893, Paris in 1900, and Buffalo in 1901. The feather and beaver marks found on the pepper mill presented here, in addition to the normal Tiffany & Co. marks, show that it was exhibited at both the Paris Exposition Universelle, and in Buffalo, New York at the Pan-American Exposition the following year. It is rare to find a piece with multiple exposition marks.
