About This Piece

A fine French sterling silver timbale or beaker engraved with a pastoral farm scene featuring a cow and young maid. Equally suited as a christening gift for a child or as part of a cheese service. Two companion cheese knives with cow-engraved blades are also available in the shop — all three were acquired together on a recent buying trip to France and would add a charming pastoral flair to a cheese presentation.

Please note: this listing is for the timbale only; the two cheese knives are sold separately.
