Description from the seller

An elegant early 19th-century French silver beaker made of high-quality 950 silver. The piece bears the Minerva 1 hallmark, indicating French silver of superior fineness.

The beaker features a clean, classical shape with a slightly flared rim. Its polished surface reflects its surroundings beautifully, highlighting the fine craftsmanship.
