✅ SOLVED Glass and metal mini tripod bowl?....

[yaxthri]

Hi fellow TNet members.
My father bought this item on a local flea market/bazaar type of Xmas charity event.
It's this metal tripod (about 5cm or ~2 inch in diameter) with a bowl made of very thick glass that is set inside the tripod.



It has markings on the bottom that are in Cyrillic so I guess it's of Russian origin, I have no idea where it came from, what's it made of (I'm hoping silver), what it was/is used for and what the markings mean,.
Anyone out there that can identify this thing?

Silver plated "salt cellar"... Russian.

I've got one of those and mine is not plated, but a fake silver alloy mix of copper, nickel and zinc, much the same as German or Nickel silver. I don't have the spoon. You'll see others of the same maker on eBay. I believe I listed mine with a stating bid of $14.95 and no body cared to bid on it. If I recall some were selling close to 30 bucks. I think they were made maybe around the 1960s in Russia as aarc said.

I thought the one I got could be silver also when I found it. It was those interesting looking Russian marks that left me uncertain, until I did a little research. Still they're interesting little pieces you don't see everywhere. My thoughts were maybe a salt cellar collector or one who admires Russian things might want it as an addition to a collection. I'll get around to re-posting mine again, with a lower opening bid. Now I need to go find out where I put it.

Possibly two different items repurposed into one? The glass looks like the sediment bowl off an old carburetor. It even has a flat bottom.

It's a perfect "marriage" if it is. I'd say original to the piece myself. Just very similar.


Nice Russian enameled salt cellar, plated or not.
