EDMOND MOLLE
Edmond MOLLE was a goldsmith at 114, rue Temple in Paris. He is the successor of Alexandre TORTEZ (1891-1898).
His hallmark was registered on 11 May 1898, the date on which his predecessor's hallmark was struck out and crossed out on 25 September 1919.
MOLLE made dinner services, mounted crystals, cups, kettledrums, napkin rings and fine cutlery. His production was considered to be of high quality and "rich in silver".
Both ceremonial and utilitarian pieces, symbolic of French-style tableware in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these bowls were used to present small entremets, chocolates, candied fruit and other refined dishes. Often made of porcelain or crystal, and sometimes mounted, they are quite rare entirely in silver.
