$175.00

This is a rare 1894 Russian .875 silver spice tower that would make a nice addition to your silver Judaic collection. Two silver figures playing musical instruments supporting the spice globe with a filigree Star of David in relief on top. One figure is playing the cymbals and the other figure is playing a horn.The base is circular and has hallmarks on the bottom The maker\'s mark (KII); the initials (AA) over the year made 1894 (AA - stands for Assa Apollonovich Artsybashev) the 84 stands for the
Russian silver proof (their standard is .875). The spice tower is approx. 3 1/2\" and weighs 47.2 g.The globe opens and closes with the catch working smoothly. The condition appears very clean and bright but there does appear to be a small little silver repair doneto a hinge. This is not readily noticeable and does not detract from displaying or using the spice tower. There also maybe some very slight superficial scratches or crazing but you must really look to see them.

Overall: a very niceattractive vintageJudaic collectible.
