Cup golden

Very old golden cup once used to give change in shops. It is in bronze, engraved "le premier pressoir, marmonier fils, lyon", it was a manufacture of wine material. One might have thought that the character depicted there is bacchus (god of drunkenness always represented with grapes) and yet, it seems to be the god lug, celtic deity, with his haircut and mustache "à la gauloise", here is a new enigma... This object, which dates from the end of the 19th century, will be able to find a new life as such (to give change in a business), knowing that it can ideally be diverted as a pocket empty or ashtray. Dimensions: 15 X 11 X 4 cm – weight 300 gr. Professional and passionate chinese, I carefully select the pieces I buy. They are always cleaned as best as possible, while sometimes leaving the patina of time if it is part of the charm of the article or its soul... I also take care to specify in the ads as much detail as possible and to clearly indicate the marks of time or use when they are substantial (with photos in close-up). I am of course at your disposal for any additional information, especially if you want a delivery option that is not offered in this ad. I usually respond very quickly to messages. Finally, great care will be taken in the packaging of your order to protect it as best as possible during transport. Click on the "about this seller" button to see all the parts in my shop.
