Featured Antique Russian Silver Cup — Help Needed for Identification & Value

I have an antique Russian silver podstakannik/cup with beautiful pierced openwork body, figural courtly scenes in oval medallions, and intricate floral scrollwork with birds. Believed to be Imperial Russian period

This is a confirm silver product

 

Welcome Mahmood. From what I can see on the very dark photos, it could be Iranian. Iran also uses teaglass holders.

Unfortunately I can't tell anything else from your photos, they are very dark, except for your bright PC screen. Remember, you have it in hand, but we can only go by what you show us.
Could you put the holder down on a white background (piece of paper) and take photos in daylight? No bright sunlight though. If there are any silvermarks on it, we would love to see those closeup.
And please post the photos full image.

Finally, we don't do valuations because values differ in different regions and at different periods. We can usually give you the right ID which helps you further, and point you in the right direction to find similar pieces.

 

Thanks I updated the images if u can check

Thank you. It does look Iranian (Persian) to me. I can see some yellow metal showing through the dark layer, so I would say silver plated brass, which is why there are no silvermarks.
it is an oldie, 19th century imo, so Qajar dynasty.
It could do with a good clean and polish.

 

Yellow patches on the handle, which is bound to show more wear because it is held regularly:



This means it is plated.

 

Thats fine i dont need the exact valuation i need to know the product details or nearest product so that i can

one thing i can confirm that it is silver. do u have any reference for a product close to this

 

well u were told it was Russian ..... and it doesn't seem to be......
so silver in in question as well....

How did you test the metal ??

 

Since there are no marks, did you have it tested by a jeweller?

 

Actually my brother have a jewellery shop and they confirmed its a silver

Did they say which fineness?
And what did they say about the yellow metal?

 

Just to mention that it is highly improbable to be Tsarist Russian silver without silver marks on it - they were very strict with marking of precious metals for taxation purposes. And also without the makers mark.
About the rest I trust AJ and komokwa
