This beautiful chalice is attributed to the maison Mellerio dits Meller.
The picture of the mark is very blurred and almost indecipherable, so I can not find any evidence that the following mark actually belongs to this company.
Can anyone confirm this attribution?
Thank you

Many thanks, Zilver2
So the mark has nothing to do with the company Mellerio and I wonder how that name is turned out.
I will try to find some more information about this silversmith on the Web.
Thanks again

Great, thanks Blackstone.
In the meantime I found that the "maison Mellerio dits Meller" was the retailer"
