Marc Bazille: Rare Large Olive Spoon Solid Silver Montpellier 1751

Rare large Montpellier Olive Spoon in solid silver from the Louis XV period, plain-flat model with the handle engraved with a mavelot. Magnificent spoon with pierced decoration articulated around a grid with knobs at the intersections, surrounded by tears and tulips. Hallmark of Charge (crowned dog's head) and Discharge (crowned bird) of the Jurisdiction of MONTPELLIER 1750-54, Hallmark of Common House for MONTPELLIER 1751 (MPL surmounted by the "&" Crowned), and Hallmark of the prestigious Master Goldsmith Marc BAZILLE received to practice in Montpellier in 1732. This rare Montpellier Olive Spoon, from the Louis XV period, is in very good condition, remarkably hallmarked, and only micro-scratches from use to note. For an informed collector...
