Specialist note

La Galerie Hébrard organised an exhibition in 1907 for goldsmiths and the catalogue mentions an oyster dish, which corresponds to this one. Silver works designed by Carlo Bugatti are rare, highly sought after and executed to the highest standard, as he chose to collaborate with the A. A. Hébrard, one of the most important Parisian founders of art bronze at the time.
