The knife blades are made of silver-plated steel, with porcelain handles glazed in white and hand-painted decor in green and pale pink. The knives have cartouches with the tsarist crown and "AM" beneath the crown, representing Tsar Alexander II and Maria Feodorovna. The length of the knives is 22.6 cm. These knives were originally part of the cutlery service for the imperial yacht "Livadia", which was commissioned for Tsar Alexander II.
