Hi,
I think it`s ЭИ in Moscow.

[madej]

Thanx.But you do not recognize a goldsmith?My friend told me that it was a Igor Saltykowv from Moscow ,so I suggested it. Do you know what the hallmark look like Igor Saltykov.I cant find anywhere

[AG2012]

Valentin Skurlov does not mention any Игорь Салтыков in Moscow.
The letter really looks like Э not C.
It could be either ЭИ or ИЭ.
That`s all I can tell.

Thanks, maybe someone else will say something else

Hi madej -
Igor Saltykov/Moscow was a wellknown maker of silver and enamel of very good quality. His mark is often intentionally confused with the mark of Sazikov....In my opinion your quality tea glass holder is from him.
Here the marks of both from PL p. 217




Some examples of Saltykov´s different works of quality:
