N. Collet Shell Butter Dish & Knife Set

France, c. 1920s

€220

Formed in the gentle, sculptural lines of a scallop shell, this silver-plated butter dish is accompanied by its original small serving knife and fitted with a frosted glass insert. Designed for butter, caviar, or delicate condiments, it brings a quiet sense of ceremony to the table — refined, luminous, and tactile.

Produced in France by N. Collet, the piece reflects the enduring French appreciation for well-considered table objects, where beauty and function are held in careful balance. The glass liner, both practical and elegant, offers a subtle contrast to the softly modelled silver-plated form, while the shell motif lends a timeless decorative note.

Complete and well-preserved, this is a graceful table piece intended to be used, enjoyed, and admired — an object that elevates everyday rituals with ease and restraint.
