Perfect for collectors of vintage flatware, dollhouse enthusiasts, or as a unique decorative accent. Its petite size and ornate design make it ideal for display or as a thoughtful gift for lovers of antique French decor. Some details concerning metal Blanc: Metal Blanc marks indicate that it's French silverplate. In 1878, Christofle opened a new giant factory in Saint-Denis near Paris (Usine de Saint-Denis) [1], which extracted nickel metal from the nickel ore brought from New Caledonia (Nouvelle Caledonie). This allowed Christofle to produce its own base metal for silver plating, called "Metal Blanc" (White Metal). CONDITION: Very good vintage condition, I did not polish this spoon.
