Hi,
This mark has nothing to do with Imperial, Soviet and modern Russian marks.
Eggs like this one are used to strike fake marks flooding the market.
At least, you have what you bought, cloisonne egg ‚‚Russian style‚‚ of unknown origin.
Regards

Hi,
This is contemporary Russian laser mark, Moscow assay office.

Unfortunately, even this mark is rarely seen, most of cloisonné being made elsewhere (e.g. India) due to low labor cost, items emerging throughout the world.
On the other hand, even if the egg was made in Russia I doubt the maker would take it to the assay office. It’s absurd the legislation was far more effective in Imperial Russia 100 years ago.
In short, unknown origin.
