About the Item

A silver-plated caviar dish in the shape of a crab, after the design of Franco Lapini and made by Almazan in Spain c. 1970. The crab is excellently modelled, with fine attention to detail in the legs and claws. The original inset glass bowl for the caviar is a rich sapphire blue, and is complemented by the original blue glass eyes of the crab. He has substantial weight and is a highly accomplished piece of sculpture. The hinge for the lid works perfectly and supports the lid firmly when open. Both the modelling and the silver plating are of excellent quality, and this crab is in superb condition throughout. He is very well behaved and makes a wonderful addition to any household.

Christofle Silver Plate Flower Shaped Caviar Set with Fish Spoons, Paris, c.1960

By Fleuron, Christofle

Located in London, GB

A fine quality and wonderfully entertaining ‘Fleur de Poséidon’ / ‘Flower of Poseidon’ mid century silver plated fish-themed caviar set made by Christofle Fleuron in Paris, France, c. 1950-1960. The service displays as a flower whose petals can be removed for serving or tasting caviar, making it not just a visually stunning centrepiece, but also a fantastic interactive conversation piece. The caviar service has six spoons shaped as flower petals that stand upright in a variety of positions in the base: as an open flower, as an orchid, or as a closed flower in the shape of a lotus. In all instances the stylised fish design to the reverse of the spoons creates a very beautiful visual effect. The interior of the spoons is smooth with an elegant ridge to the centre. Intended for serving caviar, they can also be used for serving hors d’oeuvres, amuse-bouches or snacks. The base has a Renaissance-style dolphin to its centre whose curling tail adapts perfectly as a handle for the set. The dolphin is set above a floral fountain design for receiving the caviar spoons, which in turn sits upon an elegant Italianate pedestal. It is hallmarked with the maker’s mark ‘Fleuron France...
