Set of Twelve Early 20th Century Silverplate Cups and Saucers by Gallia for Christofle

This elegant set of twelve silverplate cups and matching saucers is a refined example of early 20th-century French tableware, produced by the prestigious Gallia line of Christofle. Each piece bears the Gallia hallmark along with the Christofle stamp and model number  "B 5440", confirming its origin and date to the first decades of the 1900s. The Gallia collection, created to offer innovative designs in silverplate, was known for its refined craftsmanship and sophisticated style, blending classic forms with the emerging Art Nouveau and Art Deco aesthetics of the time.

The cups are gracefully proportioned with delicately flared rims, elegantly looped handles with sculpted scrollwork, and a smooth, lustrous finish. Each is paired with a circular saucer finely engraved with concentric borders of delicate guilloché and geometric detailing, echoing the refined decorative motifs of the Belle Époque. Subtle monograms on each cup further enhance their bespoke charm. The silverplate surface, gently mellowed with time, reflects light beautifully and adds a soft warmth to any setting.

This set offers both functionality and visual appeal, perfect for serving coffee or tea with distinction. Whether used for entertaining guests or styled in a vitrine or on a tray in a bar or dining room, these pieces bring an air of gracious hospitality and French savoir-faire to the table.
