... was replaced by his "ИЗЗ" hallmark.
ЗЗ-ЗЕЗ-ИЗЗ
ИЗ-ИЕЗ

Hello, Mart !
A very beautiful and most likely quite probable version. However, Iosif Zakhoder could not have had the ИЗЗ mark, since at that time in Russian the name Iосиф began with the letter I , that is his mark should have been IЗЗ . In ...

Among the Jewish families who moved to Moscow from the city of Shklov, there were two with the surname Zakhoder: Zolman Eselevich and Izrail Eselevich. At the very beginning of the 1870s, silver items with the hallmarks "ЗЗ" and "ИЗ" appeared. Later, they were transformed into "ЗЕЗ" and "ИЕЗ". I have ...

Indeed interesting. This Zakhoder case has been discussed rather deeply in the past). Look here:

However, this punch (ЗЗ) is different (compared to ИЕЗ, who was active in Moscov 1851-92 and in Kiev1892-1907) as well as the forename Zalaman ...

Very interesting! What is the source of this information?

Good evening!
Moscow, silversmith Zalman Zakhoder (Залман Заходер).

Best regards, Nikita

... different punches were used: ИЗ, ИВЗ, И.З., IЗ, I.З ... All in all, it is difficult to say with certainty who this is. Anyway, in my opinion both Zakhoder and Zaitsev can be skipped. Their mark was ИЗ, but not IЗ what we have here. Anyway this is a tricky case and there might be other alternatives ...

... Ivan Zakharov worked until 1889, his sons continued the business. His mark is “ИЗ” and he mainly made frames for icons. Silversmith Israel Eselev Zakhoder also worked in Moscow at that time. His marks were "ИЗ" "ИЕЗ".
It is still difficult to say with confidence about the “IЗ” mark, because there are ...

Many male silversmiths did not work themselves in their workshops either. For example, Faberge. Silversmith "ИЕЗ" Zakhoder recalled that when the business went well, he began to observe and control only. In the 1890s, 45 people worked in Marshak's workshop, of which 8 ...

Hello!

The mark Н-ИЕЗ means "Наследники ИЕЗ" - the heirs of ИЕЗ. ИЕЗ = Израиль Еселевич Заходер (Israel Eselevich Zakhoder), the owner of a factory in Berdichev, Kyiv province. The cup was made in 1908-1917.

The maker is Girsh Ravkin (Гирш Равкин) from Berdichev (Kiev assay office). He was the son-in-law of Israel Eselevich Zakhoder (Израиль Еселевич Заходер - ИЕЗ) and in 1907 became his heir. The mark Н-ИЕЗ means "Наследники ИЕЗ" - the heirs of ИЕЗ.

... However, heavy discussions in the past have been kept about this ИЕЗ mark. Some claim he is Igor Zavijanov others that he is Israel Eseevich Zakhoder. Now you come up with a third name i.e. Luka Lozinskij. Please use the search function and you will find many threads dealing with this matter.

ГР is unknown Kiev's maker. Many of his works are very similar to Zakhoder's works. Perhaps they worked together or were sellers each other's works...

The maker is not I.E.Zakhoder. The makers are "Successors of I.E.Zakhoder" (Наследники И.Е.Заходера -
Н ИЕЗ). This mark was appear after Zakhoder death in 1907. Real Kiddush cup should not be less than 90 milliliters.

... for your support. I hope we are on the right way.
I think it's better to translate title of the article as: O.Maltseva, Mark that holds the secret. I.E.Zakhoder's steam factory of various silverware in Berdichev.
("Steam factory" in sense "factory, equipped with steam engines").

Best regards, Alex.

... anecdotal and the links that you have provided give a stronger basis for an attribution. I will be soon edit the page and note that the mark is Zakhoder's, but had previously been attributed to Zaviyanov.

In addition to your sources, I found one other:

... that we know many items with mark " ИЕЗ " . I think almost each collector of kiddush cups has one or more items with this mark.
About Israel Zakhoder you can read here. It's a science research but not a site of auction house:

Hmmmm, an interesting statement but it makes me wonder a bit. If this Zakhoder is so "well known", why is he not found in any reliable sources? Something written on an auction house's site is hardly a reliable source. They write whatever nonsense too often... You write ".. .mentioned in many Russian ...
