Engraved "F. Tiercin De St. Romain 1846"
A tastevin is a small, shallow, silver cup traditionally used by wine professionals, such as sommeliers and winemakers, for tasting and evaluating wine. Its design, featuring a reflective surface with raised ridges and indentations, serves to enhance the visibility of a wine's color and clarity, even in dimly lit cellars. Historically, wine experts carried tastevins to assess the quality and characteristics of wine during the winemaking process or before serving. While less commonly used today, it remains a symbol of wine expertise and tradition.
