Age and Maker of French Beaker or Wine Cup

Good Afternoon,

I recently acquired this wine cup (or at least that is what I think it is) with the words 'dela Relle' (can anyone translate?) engraved on it along with garlands of fruit. It is marked under the lip of the cup with the Minerva head for 950 silver, and on the base has a triangular stamp with 'D & Cie' around a goblet, and a star at the base of the triangle. I have researched on this site for the maker but have not had any luck. The cup measures 7 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter at the opening. Thank you for your help.
