Re: Maria Sokolova - salt cellar

«…Under Maria’s direction and thanks to a skilled team of craftsmen the company flourished, by 1905 it counted 100 employees….» Indeed, such a number (100) is given in 1905, but only in 1905. Both before 1905 and after, the number of employees is usually 25-35. In 1916, only 8. «…In imperial Russia ...

The 960 silver sample was introduced in 1956. Usually these are filigree products or with enamel.

Re: Help identifying maker

I didn't attribute these brands. But there are letters "ГТВ" and I'm always interested in what fake makers use.
Information about the silversmith "ITB" will not be superfluous from my point of view..

Maker's mark is ITB = Johann Thomas Berg from St. Petersburg.

I think this crooked brand is "ГТВ".

1. The source is "All Moscow", an address and reference book. 1903-1908. 2. «…but also excludes F. Maksimov as the maker/master!» Are you really sure that there cannot be another master with such surname in later years? Source, please! If you don't have such information, then your words ar...

Re: Russian Mary of Kazan Silver Icon

Hello! This is the brand of the Moscow silversmith "ФМ" ("FM"). The date is approximately 1896-1898.
It's hard to determine the name correctly, but I think it's Fyodor Mnev, or Fyodor Maximov.

The initials "НД" belong to the head of the assay institution Nikolai Dubrovin. I am interested in the initials of the silversmith.

Re: Russian napkin rings – trompe-l'oeil

1. Estonian silversmiths branded their products in Revel (Tallinn) until the 1890s. They did not have the right to brand products in another region. The stamp of the Estonian master "JAL" should be found next to the coat of arms of Revel, and not sent to St. Petersburg. 2. There are a lot ...

Re: Russian napkin rings – trompe-l'oeil

Thanks!
The stamp "JAL" was made before 1882.
The brand "IL" (I have not met in Revel before) I think was made around 1890.

Re: Help with identifying Moscow maker's marks

If the stamps are genuine, then I think they are around 1840.
I can't remember the name of a suitable silversmith starting with the letter "A" right away, but I'll try.

Re: Russian napkin rings – trompe-l'oeil

Hello!
I believe that the stamp of the "JAL" could belong to the silversmith Johann Anderson Layunen (Лаюнен) from St. Petersburg. He was a native of Vyborg province, born in 1835.
