Russian Baltic Cup ?

[joho]

Hi All - can anyone help to identify this small cup. It is on a spreading circular foot and has a bulbous body. The wide rim has six sides. Cast scroll handle. Chased floral and foliate decoration. It is hallmarked to the base twice with a scroll S with 3 dots on either side, and twice with a building or structure such as a bridge? I believe these cups were typical of Russia or the Baltic areas. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Joho.

Was very interested to see possible clues.These are not Russian marks.Not found in Hanau,either.
What about Chinese export silver?

No this russian vodka cup is actually a cream mug from Denmark. Part of a sugar and cream set made by Fritz Albertus 1877 to approx 1955.
Bøje 3 - page 122

Thank you Hose_dk. Have seen his fish mark with F ? A and S without dots, but never these marks.
Kindest regards.

the s mark - one variant in Bøje is turned the wrong way. But this is only one of many. That S is proberly by Vilhelm Berg 1857 to 1937. Maker of silver to the trade. He was making silver - the next sale adds some age to his works.

The marks of Fritz Albertus are many - only some of them i Bøje. And that marks at this item is not among.
However - I have seen this set of sugar bowl and cream mug for sale a few times. And picture is also in the Bøje book.
So I have no doubht that this is one of his.
Also take into account that marks are strange.
