Hello
Right hand shown mark is a Soviet Union — not a »Russian« - mark from the period of 1954-1958. Some one out of the other contributor would give more details.
Kind regards silverport

Hi!
In additon what Silverport mentioned can be said that the jug has been made by Moscow jewelry factory (the mark in the middle in cyrillic MJu?). There is a number in the mark in the middle but I can not see it, it tells which year the jug has been made. The number 28 is most possibly a catalog/product number.
Regards,
Juke

Mind my saying dear silverport, but this "rabota" mark was the first legislative attempt the bolsheviks made to establish a new Assay Charter after the revolution in 1917.
In 1927 the People's Commissar of the USSR, citizen Briuhkanov ratified the new set of rules concerning hallmarking of precious items in USSR. This "rabota" mark was used as from 23rd of June1927 until a new assay mark, the Soviet Star with the hammer and sickle inside, was was developed on 7th of May 1958. However some minor changes happen as from January 7th 1954.
In order to know when the object in question is manufactured,we need to know what number(s) follows the letters МЮ. It looks like only one figure but what?
Of course it could be from the period 1954-58, but it's up to the figure(s) to show that.
