AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Russian 12-piece set of tea spoons made of gilded silver with polychrome cloisonné enamel, Workshop Grigorij Michailowitsch Sbitnew (Григорий Михайлович Сбитнев), Moscow, ca. 1900 / early 20th century.
The complete ensemble consists of 12 spoons in gilded 84-zolotniki silver with elaborate polychrome cloisonné enamel work.
The handles are decorated with symmetrical floral motifs in vivid blue, turquoise, green, red, and white. Fine cloisonné wires divide the individual enamel fields. The twisted stems are additionally adorned at both ends with colored enamel decorative elements.
Proof marks
The spoons bear the master’s mark Г.С., attributed to Grigorij Michajlović Sbitnew. Sbitnew was the proprietor of a Moscow factory for gold, silver, and bronze wares founded in 1893. In the pertinent Russian specialty literature, his well-known works explicitly include enameled spoons as well.
Furthermore, the spoons bear the Russian 84-zolotniki silver mark, corresponding to a silver fineness of 875/1000.
An interesting additional small mark ААТ. The marks АТ / ААТ are attributed to Albanus Aronowitsch Taiwanen (Тайванен / Тойванен), a gold- and silversmith dealer/manufacturer from Finland and active in St. Petersburg. The extra mark is likely related to distribution, commission, or a business connection via Taiwanen.
