盘子 - .875 (84 Zolotniki) 银 - 银，875/1000

俄国 Kowsch（祭器/勺形容器）雕镶嵴 enamel，银 84 zolotnik， vermoedlich 莫斯科，大约 1880–1899 年

这座华丽的镀金银质 Kowsch（内壁经火镀金处理）以19世纪晚期典型的俄式风格精工制作。弯曲的、船形的碗沿上升起一个高挑、造型化的手柄——这一形制源自古俄饮具，并在1880年代至1900年代的“俄国复兴风格”中被众多莫斯科工作室重新诠释。

碗的外沿饰有环绕一圈的白色珍珠样坯嵌珐琅点。其下展开的是密集的卷曲蔓枝纹样，色彩鲜艳的珐琅色——钴蓝、橙、白、绿、紫——采用经典的分色珐琅技术（Cloisonné/Скань-Émaille），这是这一时期俄罗斯银匠工坊的典型风格。器底呈现对比鲜明的蓝橙相间的锯齿纹。

印记/含金量：
底部有多处印记：含金量标记“84”（俄式 zolotnik 标准，相当于875/1000 银），一个骑马人物的检验印——可能是前革命时期的莫斯科市徽（圣乔治，胜利者），大约使用至1899年左右——以及一个心形的师印，上部为“АО”字母组合，下面还有另一个字母“П”。

鉴定（不确定/有保留）：
字母组合“АО”可能指向与著名莫斯科银器公司 Pavel Ovchinnikov 相关的师傅或作坊——很可能是某位名为“Alexander”的后裔或作坊同事。然而，无法对具体、有文献记载的师名做出确凿归属；这组字母在相关的师印目录中（包括 Postnikova-Loseva 等）并非唯一明确可证。故此归属应被理解为推测而非确凿事实。

日期：基于检验印记的形式（骑马人物而非 Kokoshnik 头），很可能在1899年之前，即19世纪的最后一刻。

产地：俄罗斯，可能是莫斯科。

状态：使用痕迹轻微，按年代保存尚可。
尺寸：约 16 cm

This magnificent kovsh (Russian ceremonial scoop/drinking vessel) is crafted from gilded silver (fire-gilt on the interior) in the typical Russian style of the late 19th century. The curved, boat-shaped bowl taps into a raised, stylised handle — a form derived from old Russian drinking vessels that was revived by numerous Moscow workshops during the “Russian Revival” style of the 1880s–1900s.

The outer rim of the bowl is decorated with a continuous band of white, pearl-like cloisonné enamel dots. Below this unfolds a dense, scrolling foliate ornament in vivid enamel colours — cobalt blue, orange, white, green and violet — executed in the classic cloisonné (partitioned enamel) technique characteristic of Russian silversmith workshops of this era. The base of the vessel displays a contrasting scalloped pattern in blue and orange.

Marks / Fineness:
The underside bears several marks: the fineness mark “84” (Russian zolotnik standard, equivalent to 875/1000 silver), an assay mark depicting a mounted rider figure — likely the pre-revolutionary Moscow city coat of arms (St. George), which was in use until approximately 1899 — and a heart-shaped maker’s mark bearing the initials “АО” (upper section) and a further letter “П” below.

Attribution (uncertain / tentative):
The initials “АО” may possibly point to a master or workshop connected to the well-known Moscow silver firm of Pavel Ovchinnikov — conceivably a descendant or workshop associate with the first name “Alexander”. However, a definitive attribution to a specific, documented master could not be conclusively verified; this letter combination is not unambiguously found in the relevant reference works on makers’ marks (including Postnikova-Loseva). The attribution should therefore be understood as a hypothesis rather than an established fact.

Dating: Based on the form of the assay mark (a mounted rider rather than a kokoshnik head), probably before 1899, i.e. the last quarter of the 19th century.

Origin: Russia, probably Moscow.

Condition: Light signs of use, well preserved for its age.
