Marked EPNS. EPNS is a type of plating where a thin layer of pure silver is applied over a base metal alloy, typically nickel silver (also known as German silver), which is an alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel.
The EPNS mark indicates that an item is silver-plated, not solid silver. It was a common marking used on cutlery and other household items in the late 19th and 20th centuries. This piece is most likely Russian in origin.
