Hello Everybody! Thank you very much for your efforts. According to the information I have, it's from Dorpat, now Estonia., earlier East Prussia.

Have problem with identification of hallmarks on silver tankard. Probably German, but I'm not sure. Why some many hallmarks? Can anybody help me with identification of maker and dating the item? Many thanks in advance!!! Dane https://naforum.zapodaj.net/thumbs/b2d2716a1c31.jpg https://naforum.zapoda...

Hello! I have such a silver item. Somebody told me it was a kind of Chinese coin. Dimensions: 60x47x25 mm. Can anybody tell me what it is and how to date it? Maybe somebody can read Chinese marks? https://naforum.zapodaj.net/thumbs/d81646035011.jpg https://naforum.zapodaj.net/thumbs/b60643951469.jpg...

Hi Dane111 - https://abload.de/img/bild1lhus8.jpg I would have liked to have an intellectual duel with you, but as I can see, you are unarmed. I wish you the best Goldstein Hi Goldstein/Zolotnik/Sazikov/Postnikov, first - when you post pictures of signatures made from distance, use system allowing ...

Goldstein You write "Do not offend people who know more than you - listen to them and learn" Goldstein when I offended you? Dear Goldstein, you offend people all the time. You are not kind, you don't discuss, you place here wrong opinions, you can't accept own mistakes, you harm people te...

At the Chicago World Fair of 1893 the firm G. Klingert was named as among the most important - for his enamel - in this form and quality outstanding and never before seen. Why he showed not some of his mediocre niello? That's obvious for me. He did same as I do when going with company for a trade s...

Hi Dane111 - I ask you again: 1) How much do you know about Russian silver, enamel, lacquer, niello, paper maché etc. and its makers? There were poor, good, better and excellent makers. Are you able to distinguish the different stages of markmanshift? Can you assign objects to certain artists / pro...

So the best I can do is research books, museums and websites, but I lack the expertise because I have never held these objects in my hand and examined them in detail over a long period of time. That is the true expertise, it seems to me at least. Hello Aguest, If I can advice something - try to get...

2) Are you aware of the fact that nowhere exist as much fakes as in Russian silver? Can you distinguish counterfeits from authentic silver? Do you know that an international "counterfeiting industry" is earning the millions? Do you know that China and India produce the best enamel and sil...

On the post of Jewish forum, you said that most of fakes is produced in Poland. OK, maybe it's not the best.
Best regards,

Hi madej - 1) I explained the situation of the Jews and their old, authentic silver in Poland - World War II, Holocaust, "Liberation" of the Red Army, Communism. In short: there was not much silver left 1945 !!!! You can assume that only little silver fom Poland under Russian rule survive...

Dear Goldstein, [...] When you visit the Polin Museum next time - just ask them from where all the exhibits come from. [...] Regards Goldstein The database from Polin Museum does not show what they have. It's database made by Polin, with pictures of Judaica from other museums in Poland. I wrote it. ...

Hello Goldstein, I have prooved you that there are items made by Charlap before dates mentioned in the scan below (not only spice boxes, many examples of Charlap works). So this information is not true. Can you accept fact that other common opinions can be wrong, too? Why can't you accept fact that ...

Hi - some Sabbat cadlesticks from my collection just to show that the Jewish silversmiths were able to work according to aesthetic criteria! Compare with the shown objects.

Hi Dane111 - ...We all know what happened in Poland from 1939 - 1945 with the Jewish population and their property! After that the Red Army followed.... And now we have the most abundant accumulation of Judaica in the whole world!... Regards Goldstein Good evening Goldstein, Poland I Republic was v...

Hi Golstein, I don't know a lot about Russian silver, niello etc, but I can read, find information and connect facts. Also have some experience in antiques. Silver does not mean only silver items like cuttlery etc, but it's also part of many other items, particularly in high quality weapons, so I've...
