Lovely. The maker is Maison Odiot, an exceptional Parisian company dating to the late 1600s and which is still extant today. The last member of the Odiot family to run the company (and the fifth generation to do so) was Gustave Odiot (1823-1912), who ran it 1865-1894. Your piece dates right after that, when the company was operated by Prévost, Récipon & Co., 1894 - 1906.
