Here is a Faberge Silver Cloisonne Enamel Kovsh we have sold in the past:
Intricate Faberge Silver & Cloisonne Enamel Kovsh 1899
The Kovsh is a traditional drinking vessel or ladle from Russia. It was oval-shaped like a boat with a single handle and may be shaped like a water bird or a Norse longship. Originally the Kovsh made from wood and used to serve and drink mead, with specimens excavated from as early as the tenth century. Metal Kovsh began to appear around the 14th century, although it also continued to be carved out of wood and was frequently brightly painted in peasant motifs. By the 17th century, the Kovsh was often an ornament rather than a practical vessel, and in the 19th century it was elaborately cast in precious metals for presentation as an official gift of the tsarist government.
Faberge kovsh from Moscow, crafted 1899-1908, not long before the Bolshevik take-over of the company and when Faberge produced its most exquisite objects. Kovsh, traditionally used for drinking mead, features a raised prow and hook handle. The body features allover scrolling multicolor cloisonne enamel on a teal and black ground. Stamped in Russian Cyrillic, “K. Faberge” with the imperial warrant, Moscow, overstriking the initials of Fedor Ruckert, 88 standard, with later Soviet control mark. Measures 3.25″ in length and 1.25″ in height. Near fine. A beautiful representation of the Faberge company during Imperial Russia. Sold for $3,610.
