An extraordinary silver-plated tennis ball holder or can, by Hermès Paris, able to accommodate six of your favorite brand of tennis balls, with a bayonet-fitting cap with rope detailing, central cartouche (vacant) and the base stamped HERMÈS PARIS.

In the 1960s, Hermès created a range of desk pieces, scarves, and objects with a tennis theme, including magnifying glasses and pillboxes shaped as racquets, but this is the only ball can that we have ever seen.
