The border is decorated with a monogram 'AA' beneath Russian Imperial crown.

Green and blue factory marks in the form of the cipher of Alexander II. The blue mark was primarily reserved for important pieces.

The plate was probably sold to the West by the Soviet state in the 1930s. The yellowish label is almost certainly from that period.
