All auctions / Silver & Gold / Kiddush cup - .875 (84 Zolotniki) silver - Silver Vodka Cup Charka
Antique Russian silver Vodka Cup (Charka) DESCRIPTION: Offered is a rare, authentic Russian silver miniature cup, also known as a Charka (vodka cup), originating from the late Tsarist era of the Russian Empire. This elegant piece is crafted in a clean, early modernist style that beautifully reflects the transition between late Jugendstil and early Art Deco. The cup features a sleek conical form with a geometrically designed, linear handle. On the front (gilded) there is a refined, engraved decoration. Features and Hallmarks: Silver content: Marked with the numeral 84 (84 zolotniks), indicating a high-quality silver content of 87.5% pure silver (.875). Master mark: Recursively stamped with the Cyrillic initials AC (Latin transliteration: A.S.), most likely attributed to the renowned silver craftsman Alexander Skvortsov (Александр Скворцов) from Moscow, whose workshop was famed for fine china and silverware up to 1917. Assay mark: The official Kokoschny-mark in an oval shield with a right-facing female head. This type of mark was used exclusively between 1908 and 1917/1926, dating the cup precisely to the late Tsarist era under Nicholas II.
