There is no manufacturer's mark, only what is in the picture. Could it be Poland, or maybe Kiev, or something else at all? Judaica or rather not?

Re: Hallmark ID-CUP
The marks are so insufficient that it smells fake in my nose, but ????? Try to find more marks.
Re: Hallmark ID-CUP
Hi.
There are no other hallmarks. I bought the cup for
very little money as not silver, because it was so black that the marks were invisible. Of course, I was almost sure it was silver, but only after bathing and cleaning did the nice silver marks come out.
As for the authenticity of the cup, I have no doubts.

Hi!
Without any more marks it is quite impossible to indicate the origin. Most likely from some of the small states in Germany or Eastern Europe etc.
Anyway clearly not from the Russian empire as the loth measurement is used.

Re: Hallmark ID-CUP
By 'Eastern Europe' I defined that area to be included. As well known there didn't exist any Poland during the 19th century as that area was split between Prussia, Austro-Hungaria and Russia (since 1795 to 1918). The borders were also changed during the wars in the whole 19th century.
The markings in these areas and years are quite messy and different standards were use. As a whole can be said that in the Russian occupied area the Russian rules existed, however the 12 loth has been used in these areas by western silversmiths for instance the jews living there. The silversmith used the method to which he was customized to if applicable.
More geographically detailed is difficult to say if there are no more markings or any knowledge of the history of the object itself.
