Sugar bowl - Silver

Minerva presents a French covered condiment pot on shaped feet, with a fluted body, scroll handle, hinged shell-decorated lid and glass liner. The spoon opening in the rim and the removable glass insert are characteristic of a mustard pot, traditionally known as a moutardier.

Made of silver as French 950/1000 with a Minerva hallmark. A separate triangular workshop mark is shown in the close-up photographs; its lettering does not support a secure attribution to a named silversmith. A must have for collectors of French condiment services and decorative table silver.

Provenance supplied by the seller: Paris, France.

Approximate gross weight: 118 g, including the glass and non-silver components. Estimated overall dimensions: 5 × 5 × 3 cm. Gross weight is not the net silver weight.

Excellent used condition, with age-related surface marks and natural patina visible in the photographs. Tracked shipping with protective packaging.
