Any makers information on Russian silver topped claret jug makers mark G.K combined Moscow Mark
Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2022 10:47 am
Hello,
I have stumbled on this stunning claret jug with a Russian silver top. The makers look like G.K with the combined standard and city mark to the external lid/collar. Internally there are two more punches, which appear the be the St George slaying mark and again G.K . Does anyone know who this G.K could be? They were obviously active at some point between 1882-1899 but I have not found any other posts with these initials. I have done lots of photos of the external mark for all the different angles in case I’ve read it wrong. I’m loathe to try to clean the internal marks up in case I ruin the gilding.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
