<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 146610, member: 44&quot;]Oh dear, please don&#039;t pin me down. I was hoping someone else would come up with an opinion on it&#039;s purpose. I can&#039;t tell from the pics whether they are corroded with pitting or not. As to the Faberge piece, it seems hard for me to believe that a company like Faberge with its high end reputation back in Imperial Russia days made silver salt cellars without glass liners or some sort of protection. CALLING Sue, Cheryl, af, and one all do chime in on this!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The maker&#039;s mark on that bowl are those 2 Cryillic letters, KΦ. It is one of the marks Fabergee used.&nbsp; &quot;K&quot; in Cyrillic is K. I think??? it is for Karl and the &quot;Φ&quot; is F for Faberge. Karl Faberge, Peter Karl Faberge, headed the company after his father Gustav, the founder, died??? Carl was spelled with a K. Here are some of their marks:</p><p>Note that the KΦ mark is pictured under &quot;Faberge Marks&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.silvercollection.it/faberge.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvercollection.it/faberge.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvercollection.it/faberge.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You did it, the pic is embedded! Next time only click &quot;Full Image&quot; one time. If you click your mouse on a spot in your message, the cursor, where you want a pic embedded, then click &quot;Full Image&quot; the pic will be embedded in that spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
