Gorgeous rose water ewer, and definitely Persian/Iranian.</p><p>As Bakers said, 84 is one of the Iranian (Persian) marks. It stands for .840 silver. Most Iranian silver is .840 or .900.</p><p>The other mark is a maker&#039;s mark. I don&#039;t know the exact age of your ewer, but it is pre-1967, when a national lion and scimitar mark was introduced.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a copy of the Russian 84 zolotnik mark, but in the case of Iran it is .840 in the millessimal system, not zolotnik. Very confusing, because the mark looks so Russian.
