Description from the seller

Elegant Set of 9 Silver-Plated Dessert / Ice Cream Coupes – Hotel Silver – Derck, Brussels (Belgium) – c. 1930–1950

A refined set of nine silver-plated dessert or ice cream coupes, produced for professional hospitality use by the Belgian silversmith Derck (Derckx), Brussels.
