- Lot Description
Eastern Europe, Russia, Imperial Period, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A beautiful collection of 2 silver and cloisonne serving vessels known as kovsh and 2 spoons. Each kovsh has a rounded "boat shaped" body with a projecting prow or head, and a long handle. The first displays a concave base with the Russian silver standard mark "84," a symbol that likely serves as a town mark, and the maker's mark "MC," possibly referring to the silversmith Mikhail Fyodorovich Sokolov, who was active in Moscow from 1860 to 1890. The other kovsh has a flat base and Kokoshnik assay mark on the interior basin. Both are decorated in vibrant enamel cloisonne in hues of pink, burgundy, blue, lime green, purple, cyan, orange, scarlet, white, and beige. The spoons feature cloisonne foliate patterns on the verso of each teardrop-shaped bowl. Each are stamped with assay and makers’ marks. Size (of largest): 5.75" L x 1.125" W (14.6 cm x 2.9 cm); Silver quality: kovsh: 92%, larger spoon: 89%, smaller spoon: 87.5%; Total weight of all: 164.9 grams
