This 4pc Vintage set is made in France of the Highest Grade of usable Sterling. Each cap has the Christofle Hallmark and although tiny, it was used to show the purity of the Sterling. The box is also marked 950/000 Selling for well below retail price, this set would be a wonderful gift or for your own personal use. This was my mother's and appears to have never been used. There are absolutely no chips, scratches or cracks in the shakers and NO marks or dings in the Sterling tops.
