The mark is clearly upside down. Search T.Ю. mark in Russian and the forum where this mark is discussed pops up, and it is about this mark put on a samovar. It is actually T.K. but someone had also taken it for Ю as I did, it indeed looks like Ю, and the guy was corrected by the knowledgeable there.&nbsp; Then the only picture here looks like the base of a samovar, Johnny suggested it, too. Indeed, the factory produced also pots and pans, and other metal stuff, so there is a chance it is not a samovar, I must admit. But as far as I understood from the discussion and from the research I did, this specific mark was put mainly on the bases of samovars, a different one was used on the other stuff. However, whatever the thing is, it was made by Kolchugin Factory in tsarist Russia between 1871 (when the factory started working) and 1918 (when the factory was nationalised, changed name and started using another mark).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
