Silver Vodka Beakers - Joaillerie de Sverdlovsk - Cup (4) - 875 - Sevanavank Monastery

Set of 4 Soviet Solid Silver Vodka Beakers (Stopkas) - "Lake Sevan" Armenia - 875 Silver - USSR c. 1966/1976 An exquisite and rare set of four (4) vintage vodka beakers (traditional Russian Stopkas) crafted in 875 solid silver. This set is a beautiful testimonial to the Soviet-era craftsmanship and the cultural heritage of Armenia. Design & Iconography: Each piece is finely engraved with a detailed view of the Sevanavank Monastery, located on the picturesque shores of Lake Sevan. The inscription in Armenian script "ՍԵՎԱՆ" (Sevan) sits elegantly above the monastery scene. Origin & Hallmarks: While the theme is Armenian, these pieces were manufactured in the famous Sverdlovsk Jewelry Factory (modern-day Yekaterinburg, Russia), renowned for producing high-quality silverware for the different Soviet Republics. The pieces bear the official Soviet hallmarks: The Hammer & Sickle inside a 5-pointed star: The state guarantee for 875/1000 silver. Letter "E": Regional assay office code for Sverdlovsk. Maker's mark "ЕКОХ6": Identifying the factory and the production period (likely 1966 or 1976). Technical Specifications: Material: Solid Silver 875/1000. Individual Weight: 31.6g. Total Lot Weight: 130.58g of solid silver. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The engravings remain sharp, and the silver has a beautiful natural patina. No major dents or deep scratches. Investment & Collection Value: A complete set of four identical beakers in such fine condition is increasingly hard to find. It represents a perfect crossover for collectors of Soviet memorabilia, Armenian history, or antique silverware. As the price of silver continues to rise on the London market, this set also offers a solid intrinsic value. Exceptionnel ensemble de quatre timbales (gobelets) en argent massif titré 875/1000, illustrant le riche patrimoine de l'Arménie soviétique. Chaque pièce présente une gravure fine et détaillée du célèbre monastère de Sevanavank, niché sur les rives du lac Sevan. L'inscription en alphabet arménien "ՍԵՎԱՆ" (Sevan) surmonte ce décor iconique. Bien que le thème soit arménien, ces pièces ont été réalisées par la prestigieuse Usine de Joaillerie de Sverdlovsk (Iekaterinbourg), un centre d'excellence de l'orfèvrerie de l'époque, comme en témoignent les poinçons officiels. Caractéristiques techniques : Matière : Argent massif 875/1000 (Poinçon à l'étoile soviétique avec faucille et marteau). Poinçons : * "E" : Bureau d'analyse de Sverdlovsk. "ЕКОХ6" : Code du fabricant (Usine de Sverdlovsk) et année de fabrication (probablement 1966 ou 1976). Poids individuel : 31,6 g. Poids total du lot : 130.8 g. État : Très bon état général. Belle patine d'époque, gravures bien nettes et conservées.
