- Lot Description
Eastern Europe, Russia, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A wonderful ensemble of 2 silver and cloisonne serving vessels known as kovsh, and 2 spoons, all adorned with swirling floral designs of cloisonne in hues of blue, pink, red, green, brown, and white. Each kovsh has a rounded "boat shaped" body with a projecting prow or head, a concave base, and a long handle. The larger kovsh presents 6 garnet inlays surrounding the rim, as well as a pair of hallmarks on its base: a left facing head in profile with the number 84 for the Russian silver standard and 2 letters in Cyrillic for the maker's mark. Alternatively, the smaller kovsh exhibits the hallmarks of a right facing head in profile with the number 84 and a maker's mark of "3A." Size (of spoons, both the same): 5.375" L x 1.1" W (13.7 cm x 2.8 cm); Size (of largest kovsh): 3.5" L x 2" W (8.9 cm x 5.1 cm); Size (of each garnet inlay): 0.2" in diameter (0.5 cm); Silver quality: larger kovsh: 91.5%, smaller kovsh: 91%, blue spoon: 88.3%, green spoon: 91.5%; Total weight of all: 160.8 grams
Each of the spoons features an ovoid bowl, a slender stem, a twisted handle, and a flared tip. The stems, tips, and bowls of each spoon are embellished with vibrant cloisonne. Though one spoon does not display any hallmarks, the other shows 2 on its stem: a right facing head in profile with the number 84 and 2 letters in Cyrillic for the maker's mark. A fine collection of examples from Russian culture!
