Unknown artist - Serving spoon - Silver

A large Imperial Russian silver table spoon in the classic plain model, undecorated, struck with a full suite of period hallmarks. The piece is assayed to the 84 zolotnik standard (approximately 875/1000 fine silver) and bears four marks on the handle reverse: the Imperial Russian silver purity stamp, a customs stamp dated 1894, a city assay mark, and a maker or artist mark — the city and the maker have not been identified from the marks as currently photographed. Weight is 64.5 grams and overall length is 21 cm.

Condition is Good. The bowl shows a lack of roundness consistent with an earlier deformation; it appears to have been straightened and lowered at some point, altering the original profile of the bowl. This alteration is the principal condition issue and buyers should examine the photographs carefully. No splits, cracks, or losses to the silver are noted. The hallmarks remain legible.
