Author	Topic: Russian silver teacup holders?
silverhunter Posts: 704 Registered: Jul 2007	posted 08-15-2012 12:53 PM [26-2319] I'm sorry that I don't have send a photo with the question, but today I've bought two Russian(?)teacup holders at a free market in Holland. I think they are silver because they are marked at the bottom with a kind of letter U with a little tail right under and the figures 1100 behind it. There is a silver mark standing in a right angle with the combination M K 6 at one stand also the figures 8 and the other a figure witch can translated with the number 4. Perhaps these numbers are some, from a serial teacup numbers which are made in the same style? The teacup holders are made in the filigrain style. I hope someone recognize the M K 6 makers mark. At the moment I'm cleaning them carefully, because they have a beautiful flower design. If it is able I send a photo if they are cleaned. It's a long time ago that I visited the forum but it's nice to be back sometimes! I hope everyone is doing well !!!! IP: Logged

silverhunter Posts: 704 Registered: Jul 2007	posted 08-16-2012 01:39 PM Thank you very much for your quick answer Kimo, I try to send some photo's soon. In short time I've find out something about the two tea cup holders and just cleaning them carefully, they are silver plated. I found a certain look like at internet. But what interest me are also always the marks stamped into the material. To find out the date and were it was made and who produced it. Perhaps the combination U 11.00 stands for the silver percentage what is used for plating the total set? just a try from this side. I've to send the photo's of course, like you asked. There are many examples from Russian tea cup holders, also to be find at internet, great to see all the differences. IP: Logged
agphile Posts: 798 Registered: Apr 2008	posted 08-16-2012 03:27 PM Hello Andre It is difficult to say before seeing a picture, but if what you describe as u with a tail is this letter: ц it could stand for цена (tsena = price). In the Soviet era articles were often stamped with their fixed price so it might mean something like 11 roubles 00 kopecks. However, I am not an expert on Russian marks so this is just a suggestion. Best wishes David P.S. A further thought. Could MK6 actually be Cyrillic МКБ (=MKB) which would designate the workshop or factory?
