Like all Russian silver and enamel exquisitely hand-crafted by the Russian artists, these too have been done with the purest of silver a most delicate of brightly colored traditional inlaid designs, like the Star of David.
There are several different standards of silver that the Russian artists worked with for creating the silver and enamel alcohol bottles, and the numerous other forms of antique Russian wares of silver. Within these different levels of silvers, there includes fine silver and sterling silver.

Recent News on Russian Silver and Enamel Ware
Silver artworks of the Russian culture have been traced as far back as the Vladimir time period, between the years of 956 AD and 1015 AD. It is believed that the hallmarking of each silver piece became a Nonstick Cookware mandatory rule around the year of 1700. It is this requirement that so greatly expanded the silversmith artistic importance of the industry with the two Russian cities of St. Petersburg and Moscow being the most famous for silversmith artworks.
The magnificent Nonstick Cookware silver artworks that have made Russia and the silver Russian society did not only belong only to the Russian continent, but truly all over the world. One of the many wonderful examples of the wide spread silver artworks has been the archaeological discovery within the Vallejo Valley, California part of the United States that can be referred to as the Vallejo spoons discovery.
The archaeological findings within the Northern California area is the a physical reflection of the European Russian artworks that had been formally due to the Peter the Great Reforms which happened in the later part of the 17th Century. These three silver Russian made spoons were crafted in around the year of 1834, and had found their way into America via the Russian and European cultural integration, along with the wider open market worldly trading systems.
These referenced trading systems dealt with the physical materials, but heirlooms moved around with individuals as they migrated all over the world, amalgamating and taking with them, their various cultural heritages. Just as these three Russian silver spoons came along, so did a wide variety of Russian silver and Enamel Ware works of art would make the way around the many different cultures and continents throughout time.
When looking at the fine Russian silver details that make up these three spoons the details are very strong and little differences between them. All of the three spoons are crafted with fiddle-ends that are down turned, and the Enamel Ware shoulders of the spoons contain points that form drops that are tapered-pointed. Upon a wide area of the handles, these spoons contain very highly detailed designs of double cornucopias.
These three Russian silver spoons have monograms, but they are quite undecipherable due to the hand held positioning during usage. All three of these spoons were discovered and have dented bowls at the eating end, this is a very strong indication of extensive usage of the spoons such as on a daily basis, instead of them being only a very special occasion type of Russian silver utensil.
