I don't normally buy more modern silverplated items, but when I found took a look at this item I found at a yard sale, I couldn't resist. It's a Russian marked tea holder, but what intrigued me was the design on the front-see photo. There are rocket ships shooting over the globe and what looks like a Sputnik space ship at the bottom along with an olive branch. This piece is saying something, but I don't know exactly what!!!

I thought I'd share it with folks and if anyone knows any more about it, I'd like to know. My guess is that it may have been a piece for the tourist market.
