<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lecollectionneur, post: 423782, member: 8569&quot;]I&#039;ve bought what seems to me a austro-hungarn enamelled cigarette case with a Colombine painting, but opening it with better light and more time I was surprised to found totally unusual russian hallmarks with the Vienna import mark, it&#039;s a 88 zolotniki silver russian hallmark made certainly as a command, russian silversmiths never paint the Comedia dell&#039;arte subject for the russian market.</p><p>Somebody on the forum has seen such a special item ?</p><p>For a better view I make a conversion to the bw, in gold it&#039;s very difficult to read.</p><p><img src="http://www.lecollectionneur.ch/_Media/pict4052.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>And the cigarette case itself.</p><p><img src="http://www.lecollectionneur.ch/_Media/pict4047.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Condition is near perfect as you can see, not the best maker for the silver but the enamel make as a champlevé is really superb.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
