Description
Cased Set of Twelve French Silverplate Egg Cups, ca. 1900, each of ovoid form with threaded band accented with acanthus clusters, raised on a waisted stem, the interior gilt, h. 2-3/4", presented in a fitted, goldenrod satin-lined pasteboard case, 2-1/4" x 13-3/4" x 8". Of the many possible derivations of the the word "cocktail", the most widely accepted is that it is a corruption of the French "cocquetier", or "egg cup", in which the concoctions were originally served.
