Chocolate pot with a molinet

Ernest Cardeilhac, c. 1900

The firm of Ernest Cardeilhac produced an accessible form of Art Nouveau silver. The designs are characterized by a combination of motifs based on nature in a repetitive pattern, in this case stylized thistles. The molinet (stirring rod) was used to stir and make the cocoa frothy.
