Are that a old russian jar?
Forum Admin:
The piece can not be from an Imperial Yacht. Each Imperial Yacht had its own "cypher" and this piece has none. Also, it does not match the know glassware from these yachts. Please see "An Imperial Fascination," which has photos of these yacht's glass and porcelain services.
I am 99% certain this piece is NOT Imperial and the mark on the bottom was added later as a fake.
Constantinople:
I said that because the anchor on the base was put there after
Which glass manufacturers used an anchor in their work
How do explain the A lll?
aleksandr pavlovich:
Attention "Constantinople" : The "anchor" is a simplistic hand-painted rendition of the Imperial Crown, and of course, "AIII" represents the Emperor Alexander III, uniting to create the Imperial cypher/monogram. Regards, AP.

I explain the "A III" easily: that someone deliberately PAINTED IT there later to fool people. It is a fake.
Constantinople:
You could be right
I would suggest contacting that woman who is an expert on glass ware and perhaps inviting her to contribute to Alexander Palace as a resident expert. I am sure she would appreciiate the interest in her field of expertise.
