Tea pot, St.Petersburg, 1827

Hi!

This tea pot has puzzled me for a long time. Silversmith мф which I have not been able to find. Assayer Mikhail Kaprinskiy.

Hi Juke,
There was a to name unknown master punching MФ in a square frame in St. Petersburg 1816-1831. The punch's letter Ф is not exactly the same font, but maybe he had several punches, who knows? He is known to have made table utensils like creamers, teapots, ladles etc. Is it him or not I cannot say. I'm only "guessing".

Thanks for the information and sounds like the correct silversmith. Thought if there would have been some more recent research, however some are still in the unknown lists.
