The cup rests on a gadrooned pedestal, the body is in plain silver marked with a strong line at mid-height. The rim is chiseled with two double lines.
The cover has the same gadroon frieze as the foot.
The grip is in the shape of a seed emerging from a radiant motif.
The cup is hallmarked:
. Minerva 1st title before 1973 for 950/°° silver
. Goldsmith's hallmark: EP with a knife for the house of Puiforcat
. Boar's head hallmark on the grip
. In full letters under the cup: Puiforcat // Paris
A magnificent piece inspired by 18th century goldsmithing, and in particular the makeup pots, in line with other Puiforcat production such as the famous goblet of Anne of Austria. Our cup is of very good quality, very dense and made with care.
