Christofle Sterling Silver Timbale or Beaker

About This Piece

A vintage Christofle sterling silver timbale on a stepped base with a polished finish. Classic in design, with a hand-engraved monogram — the initials appear to be "VS", though the flowing script and flourishes at the letter ends allow for other interpretations. A distinguished piece from one of France’s most celebrated silversmiths.
