Re: 18th century Russian

Hi!

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

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

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Regardless of what descendants did with the item, this tray was originally made in Moscow in 1795.

Think "Toilet Set".
It could be a toiletry glass.

Re: Silver Oklad by who?

the associated icon is genuine and dates from the mid-19th century. The associated and matching oklad is silver tested. I am familiar with silver, but unfortunately not with Russian masters and hallmarks. Agree, the riza, even if silver, is not unique. On the enamel insert (on the left) you can rea...

Re: Assay and Maker Marks

Hi Dad ! Unfortunately I don't have the item itself. But compare the assay marks on the attached photos. The number "3" looks exactly the same. When I was young, the newspapers would publish blurry pictures of anythink and claim it was the monster of Loch Ness. But, I haven't seen clear p...

Do not be offended Qrt, for Finland. I was deceived by the surname with dots above the "a".

Re: Assay and Maker Marks

John, I'll probably upset you too.
I don't know who is Bäcksbacka. Maybe you have him in Sweden and an authority on the Russian assay offisers. But in Russia they don't know about it. Therefore, I cannot comment on his fantasies. I don't know where he taken his pictures from. I can draw too.

Re: Assay and Maker Marks

Hello! I have two additions. 1. Assayer Leonty Kaminsky (marked as Л.К) worked in St. Petersburg in 1831-1832. 2. I have the mark of the assayer A.M 1832. Most likely this is the mark of Alexander Mitin. Regards. https://i.postimg.cc/TKn0d0fn/1832.jpg I will probably upset you, but this is not 1832...

Re: Assay and Maker Marks

You are Wellcome. Mitin Worked in the St. Petersburg assay office from 1823 to 1848. During this period, products in St. Petersburg were branded with the initials of the managers: АЯ (Yashinkov), МК (Karpinsky) and ДТ (Tverskoy). Thus, I have never seen Mitin's marks. Alexander Mor worked in the St....

You are right the handle is engraved with the representation of the Russian Orthodox cross flanked by the spear of Longinus and the sponge, as told in the Christian tradition, Ok. "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" As for Aguest instead, you have seen well under the title 84 zolotniki there is a l...

Re: Moscow vermeil charka, 1883

This is Moscow.
The ladle belongs to church paraphernalia. The inscription on it is part of the prayer: "Теплота Веры Исполнь Духа Святого"("The warmth of faith is filled with the Holy Spirit.")
Is there a picture on the ladle handle?

Re: Minsk, late 18th century

@Mart, Interesting, would you mind tell or show me when and in what assay charter that was demanded. To my understanding the assay charter of 1896 was the only law obeyed up to 1927. However, minor technical changes were made in 1908. The kokshnik changed to look right and some juridical changes et...

From your message, one could draw the wrong conclusion that there was another assayer Savinsky, besides Veniamin and Viktor. Therefore, I clarified. Vsevolod was a member of the Savinsky family, o...
