The owner already said there was extensive paperwork and documents in the family. Normally, we do not trust much in stories but in this case it looks genuine family heirloom of an ambassador to Russia at the time. Otherwise, the marks would be suspicious.

Hi,
Town mark is Hamburg, first half 18t century.
There is a bag frame in Munich museum made by this maker (CH IB with flaming heart).
The fabric and possibly the chain,too, are later additions.

Hi, I agree with Krisztián; Radpunze looks suspicious (arrow). There is another mark (circle). Besides, the engraved decor of this kind is almost never seen in 1861 Vienna late Biedermeier (neo baroque or Wiener Rosensilber decor). That`s the reason we ask for the image of the item, not only marks. ...

On the other hand, one cannot eliminate Far East or India in spite of Latin initials, and lacking lettering in non European alphabets.
Cannot help much: rather modern production, anyway.

Hi,
Southern Europe, Turkey included. Less likely Spain and Portugal with well established system of hallmarking.
Arbitrary marks invented and applied by the maker, no officially legislated hallmarks.

Hi, It ia a museum piece; they never clean antique silver of this kind but rather use the term conservation. Do not use abrasives. I think there are liquids without abrasives (chemically active), apply with soft cloth to prevent further corrosion and clean accumulated dirt. In short, leave it like t...

Hi,
Not Russian, and they are solid silver .900 fineness (a bit lower than sterling).
Marks are applied by the maker, i.e. they are not legislated hallmarks.
Just guessing the origin is south of Europe.

999 means fine (almost pure) silver. There is a signature of the sculptor. It would be interesting to decipher who designed the relief, could be an important Greek artist.

The Hellenic inscription is pronounced in modern Greek like this:
Afiéroma sti mitera

Christian Greece honored the mother associated with the feast of Ypapanti (Feb. 2). The Οrthodox Church celebrates the day the Virgin Mary, with Joseph, took the 40-day-old Jesus to the temple to be blessed. However, in the 1960s, the celebration of Ypapanti lost its popularity, and Greeks started h...

The company was engaged in wholesale and retail sales pipes, rivets and profiles made of aluminum, zinc, tin, copper, brass, n...

Hi, Possibly the spoon (applicator) was detached (lost) although there were perfume bottles without applicators. Generally speaking, perfumes are more concentrated and therefore a glass, silver rod was needed for application. Bigger bottles are for eau de cologne placed on dressing tables, with etha...

Hi,
To my eye, it looks like Birmingham 1858 (Henry Manton perfume bottle).

Hi,
Second standard of some kind (Roman numerals II) e.g. Portugal .833 before 1938.
Difficult to tell, marks are too small.

Hi,
