[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 509818, member: 51"]I assume these are vintage Russian (?) tea glass holders, silverplate, have a few questions. Not sure how to interpret the writing on the base of the holder. Each is marked on the base as shown (last 2 pics). Is that "U" letter Russian? It will not be me doing it, but can these ever be polished? No idea how you would get into that filigree section. One glass has a chip on the rim, the other glasses have perfect rims, but a few scuffs on the outside near the base. The holders are actually in great shape other than the severe tarnish and oxidation. They certainly look nice with the glasses, but now I am in a bit of a quandary, due to the damage on the glass, should I just sell the holders separately? Would certainly make the set a lot lighter to ship. The glasses are an exact match in size with the holders, but I'm thinking they might not be all that high end, maybe not even that old. Thoughts?
