"Could It Be A Tastevin?"
Cup, display stand, shovel, tastevin…? This silver-plated metal object, extremely “art nouveau”, is decorated, in relief, in its hollow, with a serene face of a smiling nymph. No doubt a beautiful invitation to serenely taste the beverage that it offers…. However, if it is indeed a tastevin… On an anonymous shower stand, with a handle decorated with a grip in the shape of an acanthus leaf… Pretty unusual object.
