Help identifying these marks - thanks!

Post by tobiaswayne »

I have a set of six of these tea glass holders. I took a close-up photo of the markings but I cannot identify this mark from any catalog. Also, I looked for a silver purity mark on the cups but cannot find one. I don't think these are plated but based on the research I've done, ALL real Russian silver is marked with a purity mark.

Any help any one can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tobias,

Persian perhaps?

Please remember in future posts to keep your images to within the 7" (18cm) width guidelines.

Yes, I believe it to be Persian (Farsi) ۸ ۴ or 84 (zolotniki) as 875/1000 parts silver
