This silver plated Malmaison cream pitcher, with its ebony wood handle, adds refinement and elegance to any beverage service. Pairs well with the sugar bowl, coffeepot and teapot. One of Christofle's most historic patterns, Malmaison typifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm and lotus leaves and symmetrical design. The name is a nod to the Chateau de la Malmaison, a favored Parisian residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine.
