<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RuthEP, post: 9736376, member: 84346&quot;]Thank you all. I wonder if these soviet marks could have doubled as import marks; but I also learned that all remaining imperial and other silver was remarked after 1927, so maybe that&#039;s it. Also, it&#039;s nearly impossible for a British silver piece to be marked only by the maker, and I haven&#039;t found any other British marks so far, but I&#039;ll return for another look.</p><p>Regarding the z - I found it&#039;s indeed the district mark for Baku.</p><p>As the dish belongs to a collection with known provenance, I know it was gifted by English nobility to someone outside England in the late 1950s. I know it could have been exported to Russia and taken back to the UK with fleeing Russian nobility, but it&#039;s still a lot of travel for a dish. And usually anyone who has fled with valuable property did so before 1927.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
