A rare matched set of six antique Russian silver cloisonné enamel tea glass holders (podstakanniki), dating from the late Imperial period, circa 1890–1910.

Each is beautifully hand-decorated with multi-colored cloisonné enamel in cobalt blue, turquoise, green, white, and red, forming repeating geometric and floral bands around the body.

The holders are crafted in solid silver (84 zolotnik standard, 87.5% purity), with scalloped rims and bases. Faint hallmarks are visible on the lower rim of each—typical for Moscow or St. Petersburg workshop production of the period.

Tested positive with 925 silver acid.

All six share the same pattern, form, and color palette, confirming they were made as a coordinated set—an uncommon survival. Five are in very good condition with only light wear and patina; one holder is missing its lower trim ring but otherwise intact. Enamels remain bright and vibrant throughout.

Original enamel and patina retained — no modern restoration.

The set has been left in its authentic, untouched condition to preserve its period character.

Sets of this quality and completeness are seldom found, especially in solid silver. A fine collector’s group representing the artistry of late Imperial Russian enamel work.
