A set of four silver gilt, or vermeil, small dishes or coasters. A lovely set of clean, and simple in design, coasters or ash trays. They are able to be stacked for storage, and will fit any home due to their unobtrusive design. They are wide enough to be used to for smaller stemmed glasses, but not for larger red wine glasses. They could be used as small accent dishes, or for perhaps placing larger candels.
The set was made by the French manufacturers Ravinet D'Enfert for Hermès. They were large scale silversmiths in France and were contracted by Hermès to make home goods for the luxury atelier during the mid 20th Century.
The condition is perfect throughout, with no loss of plate or scratches. Each piece has a full set of makers marks, Minerva French sterling marks, and marked "Hermès". Made in France, circa 1960's.
