20th Century Italian Solid Silver Russian Kovsh
About the Item
Solid 800 Silver Kovsh completely ceased and embossed by hand.
A medallion depicting a two-faced Royal eagle was placed in the centre of the bowl.
On the handle there is a frieze worked in fusion depicting volutes.
The Kovsh is a traditional drinking vessel or ladle from Russia. It was oval-shaped like a boat with a single handle and may be shaped like a water bird or a Norse longship. Originally the Kovsh made from wood and used to serve and drink mead, with specimens excavated from as early as the tenth century. Metal Kovsh began to appear around the 14th century, although it also continued to be carved out of wood and was frequently brightly painted in peasant motifs. By the 17th century, the Kovsh was often an ornament rather than a practical vessel, and in the 19th century it was elaborately cast in precious metals for presentation as an official gift of the tsarist government.
