thanks to @wildoute, I took a more extended look at Donald Judd's dinnerware designs, which began in 1989 as a project for a Limoges porcelain dish set, but which has only been realized now in solid silver slab by Puiforcat, the Hermès silversmiths.

images: Saladier en argent massif, as they say; the original designs from the Judd Foundation; and DJ posing in his kitchen in 1984 with probably 1% of the things he bought the month before, from the new Donald Judd Spaces book.

Direct from Paris, a magnificent 5pc. sterling silver tea set by two of France’s premier silversmiths “Cardeilhac” and “Puiforcat”, currently owned by Hermes.  The set is in like condition and each piece comes with its own anti-tarnish storage wrap for easy storage.  The name "Cardeilhac" resonates deeply within the world of silverwork, synonymous with unparalleled craftsmanship, artistic innovation, and a longstanding tradition of excellence. Established in the heart of France during the 19th century, the Cardeilhac family name became one of the most revered in silversmithing.
