Hallmark on Russian egg

[Mindaugas]

Hello everybody,

I bought a silver Russian egg with enamel, but can not recognize the hallmark. Could you help me please.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, the egg is total fake with faked marks, and not a dangerous one.
For Russian marks take a look here:

If possible, ask for refund and take care - most of ``Russian`` cloisonne flooding the market is fake.

Hi -
German fish flatware with dolphines - maybe the role model for some "creative" enamel egg faker.....

By the way, we have Faberge Museum here in St. Peterberg, it is VERY cool, and with nice eggs. Maybe the best way to see the best eggs in reality. All the museum is in sparks of brilliants, these sparks are everythere. All the beauty can't be seen on photos.

If it is your "Еggs" - show punches, please. If it is pictures from the Internet - you risk.

Maybe you advertize a counterfeit.

Hi,
It`s probably not the best time to start collecting Russian cloisonné eggs.
Even reputable auction houses are not to be trusted any more, especially with online bidding.
‘’Piece holds Cyrillic Pavel Akimov Ovchinnikov workmaster marks’’.
It appears as if the entire production of silversmiths working in Imperial Russia, all of a sudden, has emerged online due to the fact that every member of the family emigrating during the Revolution had an egg and a kovsh in his or her pocket.
Serious collectors (aged, unfortunately) can tell the situation e.g. forty years ago – rather scarce cloisonné.
First of all, one should get familiar with cloisonné (twisted wire cells), enameling technique, inherent beauty and harmony of design of numerous less lucrative items (match holders, cigarette cases, individual salt spoons, small vodka cups, open salts,thimbles etc). No way, one starts with jeweled Easter eggs and huge kovshi.

@AG2012
Mind my asking but what is your point with the egg in your last input? It's a really lousy fake!

That was the point!

AG 2012 has taken the trouble to explain the many inquisitive forum visitors why it is necessary to take care when buying for example Cloisonné eggs.
The forum is visited by many members who are not yet aware of everything and therefore are grateful for friendly and competent informations/statements.
"Lousy fake" does not help much!

@Goldstein
You, irrespective of what pseudo you use, are the first tell that fakes are not discussed here. My question relates to the AG2012's egg picture, it is a lousy fake and I will not tell why because I after all share your opinion why not do it.
