Antique French Sterling Silver Egg Cup or Holder,Louis XVI Style
An antique French egg cup resting on three legs. Decorated in the Louis XVI style with gorgeous cast and applied motifs featuring torch, quiver with arrows, and flowers. Further there are two decorative bands encircling the egg cup.
A special piece that you will love to use and enjoy as it is a perfectly elegant way to enjoy one’s breakfast egg.
Re-purpose your silver egg cups in other ways, perfect for holding small chocolates on a guest nightstand, holding rings by the sink, or for small flower arraignments. Always be sure to use a small cup inside the holder for the water and ends of flowers as the decay from the stems will etch into silver.
Very good quality silver and craftsmanship with a eye catching design. I have recently several egg cups; use the search box in my shop to see all the ones available.
