This maker is said to be ‘unknown’ a piece was sold in 2019 ( you can search online yourself to see ‘B.K 1841 Moscow silver). It seems to be part of a very ornate set. The basket that is clearly from the same set has a different assayer see last picture.
The teapot has a coronet and B.E engraved on it.
Matt.

Hi,
Identical mark in PL for KOVALEVSKY Vasily Anisimovich, owner of a workshop, opened in 1845. In 1861 he had 20 workers, production of 80 thousand rubles. Participated in exhibition in 1861 in St. Petersburg.Postnikova-Loseva: hallmarks №№ 2309, 2310.
(Info from Skurlov blog).
Cannot explain 1841 assay.
Regards

The assayer МЧ is Mihail (Aleksandr) Pavlovitch Churmasov in Moscow 1841-1852. To my understanding he also marked AЧ but I am not sure about it. Maybe somebody could verify?

Sorry, I don't have a mark to show. I have only seen a notice somewhere years ago. In those days I didn't in my stupidity mark where from the information was. Therefore I asked for verification here. Please notice I wrote: I'm not sure! Anyway, I shall try to find the source. It might take a while or an eternity...?
