Description
Exceptional, fine and impressive antique German silver wine taster; an addition to our 17th century wine and drinks related silverware collection.
This exceptional antique German silver wine taster has a circular rounded, lobed panelled form.
The moulded, panelled surface of the wine taster is embellished with the later engraved inscription 'To J.C.P.L from his Godmother E.L.A.E.T, Oct 5th 1894'.
