Hello Everyone,
I have a Christofle × Perrier‑Jouët “Anémone” Champagne Bucket (Standard Format)
France, mid‑20th century or later.
This champagne bucket is an example of the Christofle × Perrier‑Jouët Belle Époque “Anémone” standard-format champagne cooler, produced during the mid‑late 20th century for Perrier‑Jouët’s hospitality and promotional service. The bucket features embossed (raised) lettering—“CHAMPAGNE / PERRIER‑JOUËT / EPERNAY”—a production method associated with higher-quality mid‑century runs and distinct from the more common engraved or stamped versions found in later decades.
The sculptural Anémone handles reflect the Art Nouveau botanical motifs associated with Perrier‑Jouët’s Belle Époque identity, echoing the floral designs made famous by Emile Gallé.
The underside bears a complete and consistent set of Christofle silverplate hallmarks, confirming authenticity and workshop origin:
• Cursive “Christofle” signature
• Oval “Christofle” maker’s stamp
• Christofle master hallmark, consisting of:• OC (Orfèvrerie Christofle)
• Balance/scale symbol (Christofle’s official silverplate mark)
• Additional production marks consistent with mid‑century Christofle hollowware
These hallmarks collectively place the bucket within the mid‑late 20th century, a period when Christofle produced a limited number of embossed Perrier‑Jouët service pieces for restaurants, hotels, and promotional use.
The embossed lettering, intact plating, and fully legible hallmarks indicate a premium variant of the standard format, distinct from later hospitality issues. This positions the bucket as a desirable collectible within both Christofle and champagne‑house memorabilia circles.
Condition is excellent, with crisp relief, clean interior, and well-preserved hallmarks.
Is there a market for these? I’ve only seen one with similar hallmarks on 1st dibs which sold for above 2K.
Any information about marketability or value would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Grand Cru
