Description
HERMES PARIS BEFORE 1972
A silver jug with a capacity of seventy-five centilitres. It is truncated conical in shape, and the spout is cast as a single piece. The handle and its fitting are modelled on a horse’s bridle, a reminder that the House of Hermès was founded in Paris in 1837 by Thierry Hermès as a saddler and harness-maker.
Minerva hallmarks on the top of the neck and the handle, a silversmith’s hallmark within an illegible diamond (only the letter H is legible) and the inscription in full on the lower rim: HERMES . PARIS.
Weight: 680 g – height: 17 cm – base diameter: 11.2 cm – neck diameter: 10.6 cm
