A SET OF SIX 950 GRADE SILVER SHOT CUPS BY THE PARISIAN MAKER THEODOR TONNELIER, WHO WORKED IN PARIS FROM 17 RUE CHAPON, HE IS REGISTERED AS WORKING CIRCA 1798-1820\'S.

THESE CUPS SEEM TO BEAR THE DUTY MARK FOR 1798-1809 ON THE RIM AND THE DUTY MARK FOR 1819-1838 ON THE BASE.

THE MAKERS DIAMOND MARK IS ALSO ON THE BASE AND CAN BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS TONNELIER.

SO AN EARLY SET OF SIX FRENCH SHOT CUPS ALL MATCHING AND ALL HALLMARKED, SOME OF THE MARKS ARE RUBBED AND MOST OF THE CUPS HAVE DINGS AND DENTS(THEY ARE 200 YEARS OLD-AND WERE USED WHEN DRINKING ALCOHOL!)

ONE CUP HAS HAD A RIM REPAIR AND PERHAPS A SHIELD REPAIR.

I THINK AN HOUR WITH A SILVERSMITH AND THESE COULD LOOK LIKE NEW AGAIN BUT FOR ME I LIKE THAT YOU CAN SEE THE DINGS AND DENTS FROM YEARS OF PEOPLE DRINKING FROM THEM.

I HAVE STARTED THESE AT A LOW PRICE TO REFLECT CONDITION.
