Hi, This was reported to have been dug up in the Georgia region of Russia. It is 2 3/4"h., 2 1/4"dia. I can not track the marks on the bottom in the Russian section here. Any assitance is appreciated. Thanks.

Beaker mark
That would explain my not matching it up to anything in the Russian area. Thanks
Hi Burchard,
I've taken a look at this item which is actually beautifully engraved. It's quite easy to discern the origin and maker. It has the name "Rida" written on it, a silversmith from Isfahan Iran. I'm not sure as to the period he worked, nevertheless, this is an Iranian, Isfahani peice. .800 silver content.
Regards,
Hada

Exquisitely engraved and probably XIXth Century vodka drinking vessel.
Probably hidden from the depradations of the Revolution thus saved from grabbing hands of sans-cullottes. And now rediscovered!
Museum piece indeed.
