Pamono Talisman Siena Fish Cutlery Set from Christofle, 1960s, Set of 12> Cutlery & Serving Utensils

Set of six fish forks and six fish knives.
“TALISMAN” model cutlery in silver-plated metal and tortoiseshell or sienna Chinese lacquer.
Master silversmith’s hallmark and signature.

Mint condition, some in blister packs.

This cutlery combines silver and authentic Chinese lacquer, mineral and plant materials, using the rediscovered “cloisonné” process.

Applied in ten extremely thin layers, dried one by one, the lacquer, after polishing, becomes practically more unalterable than metal, hence its legendary resistance to shocks and daily use.
