The everyday beauty of Silver, brought to you by {name}

Chiara Scotto Pasanisi dei Foscarini

Two finely crafted French silver master salt cellars in Rococo style, with gilt interiors and fitted glass liners.
Both come from the Edmond Ravinet workshop, Paris, but represent two successive production periods, showing the transition from Ravinet & Denfert to Ravinet & Cie.

Larger piece (6 × 5 cm): marked R (club) D — early and rare hallmark variant of Ravinet & Denfert (1891–1910), where the club symbol is placed in the centre (in the position normally occupied by “&”).

Smaller piece (5.8 × 4 cm): marked R & C (club above) — Ravinet & Cie (after 1912), with the “&” and (club) symbol aligned vertically in the centre.

Total weight: 106 g, solid silver (950/1000).

The slight size difference is minimal and hardly noticeable; the two pieces display beautifully together and function as a harmonious set.
The hallmark differences are documented workshop variations, making this pair a true collector’s rarity.
They illustrate the hallmark evolution inside the Ravinet workshop during its transition between two corporate forms.
