Elegant Suite of French Silver Seashell Shaped Cups by Tétard Frères

An Elegant Suite of Antique French Silver Seashell Shaped Presentation Cups by Tétard Frères.

The pieces are beautifully worked to resemble a perfect St Jacques Scallop – With all the ridges and details in solid silver.
They were used to present Hors D’oeuvres – but they could also be used as finger bowls or simply to decorate a table during a summer meal.
All pieces are in great state! No losses or dents.
Very elegant and refined
