Can't help on the marks. The text round the piece translates as "Drink to (good) health"

Hi all!
Most likely the maker of this plate is famous Moscow silversmith Alexander Ful'd (Александр Фульд) who was known in 1862-1917.
Assayer Vasiliy Petrov worked in 1883-1886. Since 1887 he is not mentioned in the staff list of the Moscow assay office.
Best regards. Alex.
