A qualityFrench sterling silver gilt wine taster. It is hallmarked with the Minerva head950 standard mark (actually slightly higher grade than sterling) and a maker’smarks of Tetard Freres a highly regarded firm that operated inParis from 1903. I would date this piece to c1910s. It has been superbly designed havinga scallop shell handle. It is in superb condition being free from dings splitsdistortions and repairs. It measures 1 inch (2.6cms) tall by over 3 inches (8cms)across ...excluding the handle and over 4 inches (10.5cms) including it and weighs90 grams. A top quality example.
