Hello Ivan thanks very much for the information, I didn’t expect anyone would have a clue, so I am shocked but very happy to hear who made this spoon and will try to find out more about him.
Great help
This is all that can be found about the maker: Maksim Funtikov Evdokimovich.
Worked in Krutitskiy Pereulok (Krutitskiy Lane), Moscow. He lived and had workshops in two houses in the lane (Labzov and Tumanov house) but both houses were demolished for modern buildings and tramway rails.
Interesting post and great solve by IVAN !!.!.!!
Thanks Ivan really good information & like Vet says interesting, I managed to see some other spoons he made and seems he made niello , I think its spelt that way.
