![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [26-1925] Hi silberpunze - Here is what I can do for you. There was no other evolution of the spoon in Russia than in the rest of the world (finger, wood, bone, bronze, copper, iron, aluminum, silver, gold and today plastic). The typical Russian spoon came in different qualities: silver, silver gilded, niello, enamel cloisonné, enamel champlevé, enamel plique á jour, silver gilded and lacquered/painted and gold 56 zolotniki (583,33/1000 - 14 carats). The silver content varied from 84 zolotniki (875/1000) to 88 zolotniki (916,67/1000) and 91 zolotniki (947,92/1000). The standard "non-typical" Russian spoon was the thread pattern. There were also all the from Europe copied patterns like neobaroque, neorokoko, jugendstil etc.etc. Some photos: Coffee/tea spoons Large spoons, sugar spoons Laquered/painted large spoons Fabergé mocca spoons IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Request of silberpunze/ Russian spoons part 2 The shown spoons range from 1800 -1917. Some examples of spoon marking. The assayers and the smiths had punches in all sizes - from micro to large!! If you see an enamel spoon fresh from the workshop with no wear and tear but with diffuse marks - run! Kilpelainen, Mathias Henrik - St. Petersburg P. Ovtschinnikov with the rare 91 zolotniki (947,92/100) silver content - Moscow Brothers Gratschev - St. Petersburg sometimes the spoons are marked here 13 th Artel - Moscow O.Kurljakov - Moscow Fabergé, 88 zolotniki (916,67/1000) Hope the photos are not too large - but otherwise you can not see very much - and you have what you wanted.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is what I love about the Internet and these forums; normally I would not spend much time with Russian silver because, although I like it the marks have always been a bit of a puzzle. Postnikov thank you for the great images and the tutorial on zolotniki. My next encounter with Russian silver will be with much more confidence. IP: Logged |
