Large Russian 84 Zolotnik (.875) Silver Gilt and Cloisonne Enamel Kovsh, first quarter 20th century, by Mikhail Zorin, Moscow, of traditional form, decorated with shaded cloisonne enamel in peach, turquoise, green, violet, rose and gold on a dark green enamel and textured silver ground, l. 9-1/8", w. 4-1/2", 16.71 t. oz.


  • Condition: Overall Condition: Good. Significant loss to the gilding, particularly on the handle. Evidence of a repair (painted enamel and a small missing section of cloisonne) where the handle meets the body. Scattered dark spots of oxidation. Moderate surface wear throughout, particularly to the high relief of the cloisons, but the enamel is generally quite good, with some scattered chips and frits, but no significant losses noted. Small threaded hole on the top the front grip suggests a missing element, perhaps a finial. Marked (on the underside) with the Imperial Russian "kokoshnik" for 84 zolotnik silver in use 1908-1926 (Moscow assay office) and the smaller "auxiliary" mark, with the "M3" maker's mark of Mikhail Zorin; also with the Latvian import mark for .875 silver in use 1920-1940. A worn but still attractive piece.
