1 in stock
This stunning antique Russian silver caviar spoon was crafted in Kiev in 1879, during the Imperial period, and is made from high-grade 84 zolotnik silver—the Russian standard equivalent to .875 purity. The spoon features a beautifully hand-chased floral and geometric design, along with a deep bowl engraved on the reverse with a Cyrillic inscription, offering both elegance and cultural depth.
Its form includes a generously sized rounded bowl, a twisted handle, and a sculptural bell-shaped finial—typical of Ukrainian-Russian provincial silver of the 19th century. This blend of ornamental engraving, practical shape, and historical hallmarks makes the spoon an exceptional collector’s item.
The 84 zolotnik standard was used across the Russian Empire until 1917 and is equivalent to 875/1000 silver purity. The Kiev assay mark is especially desirable, as it reflects provincial craftsmanship from Ukraine under Imperial Russian control. Pieces from Kiev are noted for their regional decorative motifs and refined hand engraving.
This Russian silver caviar spoon is a rare and meaningful piece of 19th-century decorative silverware, perfect for collectors of Imperial Russian antiques, Ukrainian silver, or those seeking a striking object for display or use in a traditional Eastern European dining context.
