Elegant antique French hallmarked sterling silver 4pc hors d'oeuvre or condiment serving implement set with Louis XV or Rococo Revival style flower filled basket or cornucopias, fitted storage and/or presentation box and all in wonderful condition! A beautiful set, don't you think! Four pieces consisting of a reticulated pastry or pâté spatula, fork and spoon with pierced bowl & what is most likely a cheese knife with beautifully curved blade. All handles bear the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" within those marks designate them as being in .950 silver (95% pure and above the .925 standard for sterling silver). The silversmith marks most likely for Ernest Pot, Paris circa 1904-1908 and the blades (silver plate) bear hallmarks that read "POT Metal. A wonderful set, one you'll love to get out and use at every occasion.
Very good condition. Some faint surface scuffs indicative of light use and some faint dimpling to the handles. No bends, breaks or repairs to any. The box is also in fine shape, with a textured green faux alligator print leatherette covering and original fitted interior with label that reads "Valery, Limoges". See pictures for weights and measurements.
