This vintage Christofle Globe bowl brings a luminous touch to berries at breakfast, sorbet after supper, or chocolates whenever the mood strikes.
Sold individually. The price is for one bowl. Six are available at the time of listing; photographs show the group to illustrate how beautifully they work together.
First appearing in Christofle’s catalogue in 1922, the Globe design feels remarkably contemporary. Christofle currently offers the same model through its own vintage collection for $420 per bowl—a distinguished reference for this enduring French classic.
Each bowl measures approximately 4.5 inches in diameter × 2 inches high (11.4 × 5.1 cm) and is in excellent vintage condition, with no dents or silver-plating loss. Fine surface marks reflect age and use.
The available bowls match visually but vary in underside markings.
An elegant gift for a thoughtful host, a handsome bedside home for jewelery, or simply a reason to bring the good silver into everyday life.

History of the Maker
Christofle is one of France’s celebrated names in silverware, bringing exceptional craftsmanship to the pleasures of the table. Its Globe cup appeared in the house’s catalogue in 1922, with a versatile form intended for serving, sugar, or decoration. A century later, those generous curves remain thoroughly appealing.
Ways to Use
Fill with nibbles for appertivo before dinner, or serve sorbet, mousse, berries or individual desserts after. Arrange nuts and chocolates across a table; or use for sugar or condiments.
Beyond the table, use one for jewelery beside the bed, gather guest soaps in a bathroom, or arrange short-stemmed flowers in several bowls for a softly gleaming centerpiece.
