Body engraved with Coat of Arms framed by Lions, all stamped with a Count's Crown. Seed-shaped fretel, pivoting so as to allow a frother to pass through, specific to chocolate pots. Side handle with wooden sides. Minerva 1st Title hallmarks (.950) and Hallmark of Master Goldsmith Emile PUIFORCAT (Hallmark with the initials "EP" and a penknife) received in 1857.
