Item Details
Description
Eastern Europe, Russia, Imperial Period, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A wonderful example of Imperial era gilt silver and cloisonne artistry adorning an elaborate bowl and teaspoon. The spoon features a cloisonne finial and twisted handle with an ovoid bowl. The verso of the bowl is decorated with blue and green enamel with leafy silver vines. The neck is stamped with maker marks that are faint. The vessel is a striking shape, with a flared lip and deep interior basin with a gilt surface. The exterior is decorated with pastel foliate shapes with intricate twist borders and wire spirals. Rows of granulated balls surround the exterior as well. The base of the bowl is stamped with several assay marks: the first is the double eagle standard for the city mark of St. Petersburg. Next is the maker mark "MC" within an oval. The initials of the assayer are in Latin text: "AC" over the year "1894." The last two stamps are the silver purity mark "84," and a secondary city mark of St. George for Moscow. Size of bowl: 4.3" Diameter x 2.25" H (10.9 cm x 5.7 cm); spoon: 5" L x 1" W (12.7 cm x 2.5 cm); quality of silver: 88% for spoon and 89.8% to 92.5% for bowl; total weight of both: 270.6 grams
