I thought they are authentic but not faberge. What is interesting about the kokoshnik mark is that it varies enormously in size, so I do not believe the tiny kokoshnik mark will have exactly the same detail as the big kokoshnik on my Ljubavin creamer for example.

dear Zolotnik if these are fake I really don't mind collecting fakes then, and look forward to buying more (: Oh yes by the way I finally saw a faberge expert about the fork In Moscow, and he did not agree with you, even provided me a photo of the same die from his collection, I'll post it sometime-...

i dont understand it comes out really big on my screen, when I click on it.Which website would you recommend to upload?

Photos are clickable

Thank you so much, means the date is 1867 then rather then 61

Oh sorry, I just picked a random upload site, have you tried clicking on them?

Please help me identify the maker, my Postnikova does not go that far for Odessa, any ideas? http://s23.postimg.org/hxpaic407/IMG_2272.jpg http://s28.postimg.org/6v73khe21/IMG_2273.jpg http://s3.postimg.org/4jc8mf2qn/IMG_2274.jpg http://s30.postimg.org/unbbb4cn1/IMG_2275.jpg http://s13.postimg.org/k...

A very interesting salt cellar for me, Boianowsky was a purveyor to a Grand Duchesses court, and did not produce a lot. The year seems to be 1861 or 1867, hard to see due to the polishing, but it has an inscription for 1913, 50 years later which says Carskoe Selo, which I find particularly interesti...

A beautiful Ljubavin Creamer I acquired recently, was wandering why the name would be mentioned twice as AL(Ljubavin in Postnikova) and Ljubavin? The creamer has a French cygne import mark.Assayer Yakov Ljapunov. What is interesting I find is that there is an identical one in the 1893 Faberge catalo...

Hello everyone, merry christmas. I did not post anything for a while, but i have bought a lot of Russian silver recently so I will post it bit by bit, especially the stuff that puzzles me. Here I have 2 spoons, I think the quality is excellent for such i tiny thing.The hallmarks are really small and...

I know it is in auction , I only took it as an example,although mistakes in description can be red flags, it does not necessarily mean a fake. The pill box I pictured here is in my opinion closer in style to my spoon , has similar markings and comes from a respected old collection

Zolotnik i dont understand why you always compare to the top notch imperial object and gold, every firm made different qualities.

Please compare this average Russian Imperial work, to your objects maybe the are all fake :) ?

Just as I posted zoomed images it struck me that it could be A.I.K in Russian...oops

Hello everyone, I have just bought this for myself in an online auction in the USA, I was intrigued by the markings. First of all it is 88 zolotniki which is nice, and should date exactly to 1888 even if we can't see the year, since Artibashev served from 1888-1898 and the engraving says 1888. https...

Additionally, I have a suspicion that the city mark was added by the maker rather than the assayer, although I might be wrong

The Reason would be simply marketing. How many regular people buying the silver back at the time would know the
Greek letter abbreviations for the cities, that alpha stands for St.Petersburg- not many I believe; so a way to proudly inform the customer that the item was manufactured in the Capital

Dear All, i think Ubaranda's last photo with the Petrograd mark is the final proof of it being a city.
I believe I have seen a Morozov mark together with S.P. Burg(that is why I listed it), but it was a long time ago and I do not have a photo or proof, maybe I am forgetting something.

sorry not 1910-1915 ------ -----1910-1914
