L Dupré Charles X Sugar Bowl In Crystal And Solid Silver, With An "old-style" Hallmark

Charles X crystal candy dish with a solid silver setting, bearing the Vieillard hallmark (1819–1838), first-class Parisian hallmark, and the hallmark of silversmith Charles Louis Dupré, who was active from 1827 at 5 Rue de la Coquille in Paris. He specialized in tableware such as salt cellars, oil cruets, bowls, and candy dishes... Our candy dish features a cut-glass bowl adorned with a pattern of shields and points reminiscent of the craftsmanship of the Creusot factory. Its solid silver mount is characterized by rich, delicately chiseled decoration; its crown-shaped handle rests on a bed of foliage, and its handles are particularly elaborately crafted with lions. It rests on a pedestal with a square base and lion’s paws. The piece is embellished with rows of pearls and water leaves... Gross weight: 872 grams.
