Vintage French tastevin / wine tasting cup, made by Marc Lesage, Paris.
The maker’s mark is clearly visible: ML with daisy, attributed to French silversmith Marc Lesage.
Silver-plated metal construction with traditional Burgundy-style embossed interior, designed to reflect light when examining the colour and clarity of wine.
The thumb rest is engraved FRAMATOME with the company’s historic logo, making this an unusual corporate presentation or commemorative piece, probably dating from the 1980s–1990s.
An interesting collectible for:
sommelier and wine accessories collectors, French vintage silverplate collectors, Framatome / French industrial memorabilia collectors.
Good vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with its period. Please refer carefully to the photographs.
