Magnificent Louis XVI style decor, with a ribbon and pine cone design. Detachable wooden handle, beautifully crafted, faceted. Minerve hallmark on each part (stopper, lid, body and base). Master silversmith hallmark EP with knife (penknife) for Émile Puiforcat and numbered 12. Late 19th / early 20th century period. Base diameter: 10.5 cm. Lid diameter: 9.3 cm. Silver weight: +/- 769 grams!

Total weight (with handle): +/- 838 grams. It is in good condition, does not leak. Tiny "point" caused by the pine cone, see photos.

Minute flaw, almost imperceptible depending on the light, or touch. Nothing serious, but I must mention it. Please refer to the numerous photos.
