FROM MADEIRA WITH LOVE.. Found in an estate liquidation on Madeira Island Portugal, that of a family with ties to Russia. Antique Russian Silver teaspoon with Niello decoration. The handle has a floral motif while the back 0f the bowl features a Moscow Landmark. The hallmarks are not very legible. Russian silver purity is noted as 84. The spoon measures 5 3/4 inches in length and has a weight of approximately 24 grams. It is monogrammed with the letter “A”. Previously owned, the spoon has survived with no loss to the bowl rim. I noticed a slight dent in the monogram on the handle, close to the end, as well as a ding in the silver, also on the handle. Additionally, expect to find the kinds of abrasions one would always find on any estate silver.
