Hi!
Couldn't find the maker ГА in Moscow.
I am somewhat surprised that the bottom is lathed but I guess this technique was already in use during that period.
Regards,
Juke

Hello!
I know two "ГА" silversmiths who were working in Moscow at that time: Gerasim Andreyanov and Gavrila Alekseev. It is difficult to say more precisely, because there is not enough information.

Raising on stake from one sheet of silver was done much earlier in 18th century.

:::: At first the circular lines on the bottom of the teapot look "engine turned" like many pieces that I've seen from the 1870s-1880s. ::::
:::: But now that I look closely at the lines, they are irregularly spaced and have sort of a "hand made" aesthetic to them. ::::
::::: Are the circular lines what you are referring to when you say "lathed"? :

Thanks Mart for the suggestions on the makers mark.
Yes with lathed I mean the circular lines. Good to know that this type of technique was already used during this period. I have until now thought that the bottom was always hammered before the machine made lathed method was invented so one can always learn new things.
