Hello!
I need help identifying the marks and country of origin of this jug. I assume the letters are Cyrillic and the origin could be Ukraine, Belarus, or Orthodox Balkan countries.
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
Help identify the marks and origin of the jug
Re: Help identify the marks and origin of the jug
"Hello!
I believe that this is Malorossia (Kyiv, Kharkov, Chernigov, Zhitomir etc.) of the 18th - early 19th centuries. The Russian probing system was introduced in Kyiv in 1825, in Kharkov around 1835. Prior to that, a lot probing system was used there.
For example, the mark of the Kyiv maker Gerasim Protsenko (Герасим Проценко - ГП)), who worked from 1821, and a few more marks of unknown Malorossian makers.
Regards."
