An unusual Russian gilded silver & niello beaker, Cyrillic maker’s mark PD, Moscow, 1834.

FРОМ F. ЖЕРДЕИН ЖАНу. 18МH Dimensions: 3″ h x 2 3/4″ d (7.6 x 6.9 cm).

The unusual inscription combines elements of English & Russian, suggesting that the engraver was attempting to produce an English inscription with limited command of the language.
