I think that often in these catalogs there are similar cases, because the authors have not seen enough products. It was a different time. They also often misread the initials on the stamps. Of course, sometimes the silversmith worked for a short time. He could change his business, or get a different...

875 is a later Latvian mark.
All the silver products from the “ГШ” silversmith (if there really is a “ГШ”) that I saw were made only in 1844.

These are just the features of the translation: “I had to write...”. It's clear what I meant. That I should have used the word "perhaps" in my first post. https://sun9-45.userapi.com/impg/8fM46DCyxINVCppzATeCJoulDg8__fPzigOfEQ/mxEMN2LrDZs.jpg?size=771x548&quality=95&sign=a3b0f83501...

I had to write the word “presumably” because I haven’t studied much about the hallmarks of Baltic silversmiths. However, if you look in the same book at the version of the Erich Bank mark, you can see the similarities.
Silversmiths could have many variants of their hallmarks.

Hello! This may be a very rare Fraget mark, but it may be a fantasy. I don't have anything to compare it to. The "84" stamp is of course not genuine. It simply looks like a stylization of the Russian mark. The rooster could be a trademark sign or also a stylization of the brands of France ...

If you have the opportunity to photograph the hallmark (where the 84 standard silver and the coat of arms) are as large and sharp as possible, then this will be very good. You may be able to use daylight and a magnifying glass. As far as I understand, there are no other marks on the product.

Hello! The brand is: "A и Ф.О" The factory of Pavel Ovchinnikov was one of the most famous in Russia. Pavel had a younger brother, Alexei. For some time, Alexey worked independently, and then as a director at Pavel’s factories. At the very beginning of the 1880s, Alexey decided to open an ...

If there is information about a silversmith for a certain year, this does not mean that the marks on the products belong to him. He could work for another master; he could only do minor repairs. He could only do silver plating. There could be another master with the same initials, etc. A simple ment...

Silversmith Fyodor Gavrilov (ФГ) was working in Moscow at that time. But for me, this information is not enough to claim that this brand belongs to him.

Hello! I think the silversmith's brand is "AIЗ".

The brands of the Fraget company on silver products can be seen starting (at least) from 1877.

Thanks! All questions disappeared). There are the initials JF (there was a re-hit). I can assume that this is Frager's workshop, but that's just a guess. Perhaps someone knows more precisely.

Hello! Indeed, the stamps indicate that the product was made in Warsaw (Frazhe company?). I have a double feeling. On the one hand, everything is correct, but on the other there are several questions. What initials do you see? May be, JF? Can you take more detailed photos? It is advisable to see sha...

"...The over hundred bowl types Russian silver salt cellars I have seen on auctions from mid 19th century didn't have a lid. ..."
I don't think there is a salt shaker in this thread.

Maybe, but I'd take a closer look at these places. This looks like a support for the elegant lids. A handle in the middle would perhaps be a nice addition. Perhaps any table spices can be placed here. https://sun9-11.userapi.com/impg/FJ4mpic3Kkr1PZ3P78CpX7mSI5bbk318IDc3kQ/gueoR2nfNLA.jpg?size=1280x9...

Thank you! I have never seen peppers stored open. It may lose its properties and fly apart when air moves. But I do not insist on my point of view. Here are typical pepper containers of those times. https://sun9-42.userapi.com/impg/BgNfqYA2P8zjVhGDbO4plIHIw9tFYHyrT0GVdg/68Amv3fUUOI.jpg?size=792x783&...
