Antique French Silver-Plate Christening Cup, Stamped "Lenoire Paris"

• It is vintage so it does show signs of use and wear consistent with age

What we love about it:
There's a lovely warmth to this one. The soft tarnish tells you it's been treasured and handled for generations. Originally a christening cup, it makes a beautiful catch-all for a bathroom vanity, a holder for pens and brushes on a desk, or a small vase for a single stem. A wonderful piece with a sense of history to it.
