Hello

I recently bought this set of cups and I know little about them. Three cloisonne enamel and two dummy niello. They are from Russia, Soviet, that I know. You can help me with the year of manufacture, a silversmith and city. Any other information is welcome.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English language.



Hallmarks of cups cloisonne enamel








Hallmarks of cups dummy niello

1) Vodka cup (rjuma) in painted enamel (not cloisonné!). Townmark: Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Silver content: 916/1000, Maker: Jeweller firm of Leningrad, year of manufakture: (9) 1959
This is Soviet silver - not Russian silver! Russia ended 1917!

2) Vodka cup (rjuma) in oxydiced "niello" (dummy niello is a nice word for this cheat!) Townmark: Moscow, Silver content: 875/1000, Maker: Artel (cooperation) "Chudoschnik" (Artist), year of manufacture: (9) 1959

Thank you very much for your response. It is helpful to classify the cup. I thought it was fake, but after cleaning and examination under the microscope, I see that it is authentic niello.

Thanks again
