Title

Nine champagne muselet caps

Description

1980? Nine champagne muselet caps from Veuve Cheurlin, picturing each a fable of La Fontaine. $35 for the set of nine from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne-Ricouart, France, Sept., ‘20

Now here is something new – and a new group of collectors, known in France as “placomusophiles.” A muselet is the wire cage that fits over the cork of a bottle of champagne, sparking wine, or beer. The quality of illustration here in a small curved surface is quite high!
