Up for bid are two very similar Soviet Russian niello silver vodka cups. The cups are just under 2 inches tall and by 1 1/2 inches in diameter and together weigh 61 grams. The interiors are gilded. The cups are decorated with geometric bands in niello as shown. One cup has a knurled rim, while the other does not. They have not been monogrammed. They are marked [A Yu 7] with a Soviet 875 silver assay mark.
Condition on the cups is fairly good. There is a small nick in one rim and some stubborn tarnish. There is small dent to one foot edge. Some nice Russian silver cups.
