Hello
Your vermeil sugar nips are made of 800 standard silver as shown by the Minerva head in a barrel-shaped reserve.
The maker is Jean Devaux, maker of small wares in Paris, working at several addresses: 47 rue Ste-Avoye, 35 rue du Temple, and 6 rue Portefoin, using the same mark at all 3 addresses. He first registered 22 February 1838, erased 12 April 1851. His symbol was a table fork (une fourchette de table).
See Arminjon, v. I, no. 0711, p. 188.

Jean Simon Deveaux
Born: 2 May 1815, Paris, son of Jean Martin Deveaux & Marie Pierrette Hugonnet, dite Banquier
Married: 10 Mar 1842, Paris, to Rosalie Jeanne Boutin (ca. 1821-1882)
Died: 20 Sep 1866, Paris, 3e arr.
Deveaux (note the spelling as it appears on all civil records I have found for him) registered the same mark again on 19 Apr 1851 at the rue Portefoin address; there is no cancellation date for this final mark, but he is last listed in the Paris directory of 1862.
