From our personal collection we are pleased to offerfor salea very rare and unusual Hanau sterling

silver wine taster, tastevin, bearing the French import mark of 1893.

The composition of the sterlingleads us to surmise that the tastevin was made much earlier,

likely circa1850\'s. The tastevin bears pseudo Hanau marks along with the French import mark

denotingthat it is.800 sterling silver.

The tastevin has a highly defined andrather uniquesnake handle that has great visualappeal. The diameter

of the cup is approximately 3.0\". The weight is 62 grams.
