This small can has no Russian marks but a shield and a cyrillic inscription. From what country does it come and what means the inscription? I doubt if it is silver.

Yes the text is Russian but unfortunately it is impossible to read it (at least to me). The text is partial only. It is not Russian silver.sorry. i believe it is plate, but where from????

New try
The first line is mission impossible, the second line reads бордюр (border).

Thanks Qrt.S for your reply. Obviously it is a difficult case, because nobody knew an answer.

I'll move the topic to the 'Other Countries' section of the forum to see if we have any luck there.

Hello. Perhaps it is an overhead silver Oehme (Эмме), the owner of the factory of overhead silver in Moscow from 1833-1856.

Hi,
серебр(яный) бордюр is generic mark used to indicate quality and also for prevention of fraudulent actions (adding fake marks and selling silver plated items as solid silve). The mark in the shield is unknown to me.
His peak production was in 1840s. It is claimed elsewhere that he used thin silver sheets on copper (similar to Sheffield plate).
Not sure about electro silverplating at the time when it was still in experimental stage of develpment.
Regards

I think that the factory of Ксимантовский (КSIMANTOVSKУ). Silver plated. Накладное серебро.

Thanks all for your answers, especially Mart who I think found the maker: Ivan KSIMANTOVSKY who made plated articles. The initials in the shield are IK.
@Mart: Did you see the shield with IK on other items from Ksimantovsky? Is it his maker's mark? What do the last two words mean in cyrillic? The last I know means silver.

Накладное серебро means "cover silver" in other words "plated"

The brand is "ФIК" , where «Ф» (F) is a Factory. The Kcimantovsky factory. Silvering is not really my topic, but I have seen such marks «ФIК». And he had other brands. It is ok.
I think that the years of creation of this product are approximately 1844-1852. Maybe a little earlier. There is a small chance that Ivan started the business in the city of Rzhev, from where he arrived in Moscow, but this is unlikely.
Then Ivan's relative became the owner of the factory.

Correction. I think that Ivan was the owner of the factory in 1839-1852(54).

@Mart
So the brand (=maker's mark) is: cyrillic F Latin I K what would be a mixture of alphabet. Is that possible?

The letter "I" was in the Russian alphabet in those years.
