This antique silver saucer is intended as a base for a kiddush cup. The top side displays a central engraved sunburst or floral pattern with zigzag rays extending from a star emblem, accented by dotted and wavy borders for intricate detailing. The rim bears a hand-engraved Hebrew inscription believed to be: "חנה לעמפערט" (transliterated as "Chana Lampert"), personalizing it for someone named, likely a commemorative or gift item reflecting family heritage in Eastern European Jewish tradition.

The underside is plain with light usage marks and features hallmarks near the edge:

• Maker's mark: "K.C." (likely the Latin initials of the silversmith; possibly Karol Czapski or a similar artisan, though attributions vary—common for lesser-known workshops producing Judaica; active in the region around 1892 but not definitively linked to a major name like Sazikov or Ovchinnikov).

• Date mark: "1892" (year of assay and manufacture).

• Purity mark: "84" (indicating 84 zolotniki fineness).

• Assay/city mark: St. George slaying the dragon (a stamped pictorial symbol of a mounted knight spearing a dragon, the standard city mark for Moscow from 1741-1898, often combined with the purity number; associated with assay master Viktor Savinsky or contemporaries in 1892).

Material: 84 zolotniki silver (875/1000 fine silver, equivalent to 87.5% purity, the standard for Imperial Russian silver of the era; lower than sterling 925). Weighs 73 grams (approximately 2.35 troy ounces).

Origin: Moscow, Russia (Imperial Russian Empire). Moscow was a major hub for silver production in the late 19th century, including Judaica items crafted for Jewish communities in the region.

Age: Dated 1892, over 130 years old, from the late Imperial Russian period, a time of significant silversmithing activity in Moscow before the Kokoshnik mark reform in 1896.

Condition: Good antique condition with minor scratches, tarnish, and patina from over a century of use. Engravings and hallmarks are distinct and readable. No dents, restorations, perforations, or major flaws. The natural aging enhances its historical value; gentle polishing could brighten it if desired.
