Placomusophily: A Millimetric Passion with a Thousand Faces

Champagne caps (also known as muselet plates or placomusettes) are collectibles of infinite richness. There are tens of thousands of different models, produced by major champagne houses as well as small grower-producers. Each cap is a miniature graphic object that tells the story of a house, a vintage, a year, or an event. The most seasoned collectors own thousands, categorized by house, theme, or era.
