Hi.

Spoons with the coat of arms of St. Petersburg. Early 19th century. Assayer Alexander Yashinkov. (А.Я).
The top spoon is probably the mark of the master "С.М". Maybe Stepan Morozov or Semyon Mikhailov. If it's Latin, then someone else.

I'd like to fix it. It would be more correct to call it not “Assay Master”, but “Assay Official” or “Assayer”

Hi!

This is not Minsk.
Assay office of Simferopol. Simferopol is the capital of the Tauride province. Crimea Peninsula.
Assay master "СБ" - Stepan Bochkarev.
The Tauride province also had a coat of arms in the form of an Eagle, like Minsk and Kamenets Podolsky.

Yes. Rosett was an Assay Master at the Vitebsk Assay Office until 1844. Until Polyakov. True, with a short break.

Unfortunately he is unknown to name to me, If someone knows his name (and location), please tell it, thank you .

Please tell me if the cross of the city of Polotsk is authentic?

Not. It's fantasy pampering

Without fear, blame your or our political leaders. Wake up and prepare for the worst. Hopefully let us get it over and done with. Free the world of religious and mad, corrupt dictators. Yes, I love very dark chocolate and keep the forum free of political propaganda. You too?


Undoubtedly, Peter ...

Hi Peter! It looks like the world has gone crazy. Like a steam locomotive rushing towards an abyss. No such feeling?
But maybe this is just my imagination and everything is “in chocolate” for you?

Hi, all
How are you? Aren't you scared yet? ))

For myself, I decided with a high degree of probability that this was Orthodox Romania. Here is an example of a similar mark on a icon silver riza. The text says that they covered with silver in the city of Botosani (Botoșani - romanian ) in Romania ...

This is the product of the "Krasniy Kustar" ("Red Handicraftsman") artel.
The village of Krasnoe on the Volga. " Beta". "KK4" - 1954

Tipton444,
all of the crosses you showed have fake marks. The first cross does not stand out from the others

Assay mark - sick fantasy! ))

Hi.

I'll add. Assay punches in the first message are fake.

Hi.

The item (silver icon lamp) is authentic. "St. George" like this:



There is evidence from repairs and soldering.
Only, I would say, the AS assay inspector is Alexander Smirnov.

Hi!

These are fake punches. And, most likely, not very old. I hope I didn't upset you too much?

Yes. It's 1958.

Lettering in Latvian. "In memory from Virgita and Gara"

Yes,
these are genuine Hallmarks.
Regardless of what descendants did with the item, this tray was originally made in Moscow in 1795.

In addition.

The tea glasses were thin. Thick-walled faceted crystal glass will collapse if you pour boiling water.

Think "Toilet Set".
It could be a toiletry glass.
There may have been a lid.
