Thank you any suggestion.

Among other things;this kokoshnik is completely wrong (is this female head with kokoshnik ?)
Chinese rely on visual reproduction, whoever made this kokoshnik had no idea about Hellenic alphabet and letter Delta.

Hi huszas76 -

there is nothing to add - exept the handle should also be marked on the underside if it is an authentic kovsh!

No, nothing to add other than the kovsh looks nice but has nothing to do with Russia. The kokoshnik is ridiculous. Sometimes I wonder that are possible buyers blind or is the answer so simple that they don't have at least an elementary perception of what is real and what is faked?
