Striking Russian Silver Sugar Bowl – Imperial 84 Zolotnik with Kokoshnik Mark

Antique Russian Silver with Twisted Fluting and Hinged Handle

This striking antique Russian silver sugar bowl is a fine example of early 20th-century Imperial Russian silverwork. Crafted in 84 Zolotnik silver (equivalent to .875 purity), the bowl features a twisted fluted body, elegant beaded foot, and a solid hinged handle, all blending form and function with classical aesthetics.

The piece bears a clearly struck Kokoshnik mark (facing right), introduced in 1896 and used until the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917. This specific version denotes the second standard and suggests a date range of circa 1908–1917. A partially legible maker’s mark accompanies the assay stamp and is typical of provincial or workshop silversmiths from this era.
