Hi everybody.I need ideas: what the letters engraved on the gravy boat and is any possibility of identification of the owner.Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure this is a Latin (or Roman) alphabet. Then perhaps it would be TA ? I've tried some of the Cyrillic styles, but I'm not that familiar with them. Since this was made in Vienna (Wien) I've looked over a map and tried researching alphabets of neighboring countries, such as Hungary. I'm sorry, but I've found nothing I could state with confidence. Anybody else?

This link should identify the maker and provide some clues about the marks.

And here is the history of the firm which was founded in 1843

The script is, I think, Latin: AJ or AT

Hi. Thank you for desire to help. I think that it's not A - there is no horizontal line.
Maybe it's Cyrillic, used in Russia until 1918? Letter "И" had two option writing: И and I.

That may be so but I am inclined to think that the script is Latin and possibly in "Frackschrift", the Gothic type alphabet in common use throughout Germany until WWII.

possibly a "Y" in alt Fraktur

but many other examples of alt and moderne Fraktur here:

y

This could be Russian script "G" and "L":
