Description: This silver goblet was created in 1939 by Jean E. Puiforcat, one of the most important French silversmiths of the 20th century. Made of .950 silver, it bears the inscription “DIVONNE 1939” and the French Minerva hallmark, confirming its authenticity and purity.The word Divonne comes from the Celtic term divona, meaning “sacred water.” This gives the piece symbolic meaning in addition to its functional purpose, suggesting themes of purity and renewal. Puiforcat, celebrated as a master of Art Deco design, was known for his modernist approach—clean lines, geometric simplicity, and balanced proportions. These qualities are visible in this goblet’s minimal yet elegant form.Today, Puiforcat’s works are held in major museums, including the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. This goblet is a rare example of his craftsmanship and remains highly valued among collectors. Title: Art Nouveau Divonne Goblet (Rare) Artist / Maker: Jean E.
