Hi.
The item (silver icon lamp) is authentic. "St. George" like this:
There is evidence from repairs and soldering.
Only, I would say, the AS assay inspector is Alexander Smirnov.

Re: 18th century Russian
Hi!
These are fake punches. And, most likely, not very old. I hope I didn't upset you too much?

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?
Yes,
these are genuine Hallmarks.
Regardless of what descendants did with the item, this tray was originally made in Moscow in 1795.

In addition.
The tea glasses were thin. Thick-walled faceted crystal glass will collapse if you pour boiling water.

Re: Glass with silver
Think "Toilet Set".
It could be a toiletry glass.
There may have been a lid.

Re: Silver Oklad by who?
the associated icon is genuine and dates from the mid-19th century. The associated and matching oklad is silver tested. I am familiar with silver, but unfortunately not with Russian masters and hallmarks. Agree, the riza, even if silver, is not unique. On the enamel insert (on the left) you can rea...

Hi Dad ! Unfortunately I don't have the item itself. But compare the assay marks on the attached photos. The number "3" looks exactly the same. When I was young, the newspapers would publish blurry pictures of anythink and claim it was the monster of Loch Ness. But, I haven't seen clear p...

Do not be offended Qrt, for Finland. I was deceived by the surname with dots above the "a".
Accept or not my statements is your right. But, I dare to assure you that I am much closer to the sources of knowledge than your idol.

Re: Assay and Maker Marks
John, I'll probably upset you too.
I don't know who is Bäcksbacka. Maybe you have him in Sweden and an authority on the Russian assay offisers. But in Russia they don't know about it. Therefore, I cannot comment on his fantasies. I don't know where he taken his pictures from. I can draw too.

Re: Assay and Maker Marks
Hello! I have two additions. 1. Assayer Leonty Kaminsky (marked as Л.К) worked in St. Petersburg in 1831-1832. 2. I have the mark of the assayer A.M 1832. Most likely this is the mark of Alexander Mitin. Regards. https://i.postimg.cc/TKn0d0fn/1832.jpg I will probably upset you, but this is not 1832...

Re: Assay and Maker Marks
You are Wellcome. Mitin Worked in the St. Petersburg assay office from 1823 to 1848. During this period, products in St. Petersburg were branded with the initials of the managers: АЯ (Yashinkov), МК (Karpinsky) and ДТ (Tverskoy). Thus, I have never seen Mitin's marks. Alexander Mor worked in the St....

ah you say it could be so? this explanation did not even cross my mind because, I read and learn, that the regulation in terms of punching was so stringent and mandatory that it seems inconceivable to me that such a thing could happen, that is, that a clumsy assayer would punch a product by mistake...

In addition.
The correct name is "korets". Part of the Eucharist set. Like here:

This is Moscow.
The ladle belongs to church paraphernalia. The inscription on it is part of the prayer: "Теплота Веры Исполнь Духа Святого"("The warmth of faith is filled with the Holy Spirit.")
Is there a picture on the ladle handle?
