Silver plated butter dish with crystal insert by Ercuis, original box

A beautifully understated French butter or condiment dish by Ercuis, known for its refined silverwork since the 19th century. This piece pairs a softly polished silver-plated base with a clear crystal glass insert, designed to present butter, sauces or small delicacies with quiet elegance. The clean, rounded lines and subtle weight give it that unmistakable French table presence—simple, but unmistakably luxurious. Complete with its original Ercuis box, it carries both charm and provenance, making it just as appealing to collectors as it is to those who love to entertain. The silver plate has a gentle, time-softened sheen with light surface marks consistent with careful use, and the glass insert remains clear and well-shaped with only minimal signs of age. The underside bears the Ercuis mark, confirming authenticity.
