Author	Topic: Niello spoon with ticket
Silver Lyon Posts: 363 Registered: Oct 2004	posted 07-19-2005 06:38 PM I am fascinated by the concept of silverwork from the Soviet period in Russia. Sadly, I am very much a novice in this area. There is the lable and marks (I will show the spoon if desired) from a niello spoon. The label is attached with string and sealing wax! I long to know what the label says and the who what and where of the spoon! Thank you, WEV - the marks are tiny and I had real problems getting them at all! IP: Logged

All what could be possible to say, so you can understand the marks on the spoon and the text on the slip of paper would take many hours of explaining, teaching and writing. To make a long story short: Your spoon is from the factory (Latin): Kubatschinskij chudojestwennyi kombinat = Cuban artistic kombinat (an ideologic hommage to the socialistic "brothercountry" Cuba) 1961-1968. There existed 3 factorys: (Moskowskaja, Tbilisskaja, Bakinskaja)= Moscow, Baku, Tiblissi. Your fotos are so excellent that I can not see what is most important on a foto - details. The mark with the silvercontent 875 has a hammer and sickle in a star, in use since May 7th 1958. If there is a dot upper center left, it is Moscow. Is the dot upper center right, it is Baku. Is the dot middle right, it is Tiblissi. If there are no dots and you see left of the star the letter "M", it is Moscow. Now to the paper slip: the address and the code of the kombinat, the number of the articel 25?? the style the year of manufacture 67 silvercontent (proba) 875 OTK qualitycontrol with signature etc. Hope that helps.

Silver Lyon Posts: 363 Registered: Oct 2004	posted 07-20-2005 03:17 PM Thank you for your brilliant summary. I take it that this is Moscow? 1967. The Cuba name is really interesting - an insight to a totally different way of thinking! I take your reproach to heart - I am very new to this camera thing. Is this better? Wev - if this is no good, just delete the whole thing from 'thinking!' - thanks. IP: Logged
