I have obtained a shallow, hand hammered bowl. Pattern or what appear to be wild roses in the flat of the dish. The following letters are stamped into the inside of the dish - K( or X) E I P O and a backwards E.

Any ideas on what or who this is?
Thanks for any info

Usually Soviet era plate is marked with an M and a letter that looks like a U with a tail ('tz' from 'tzentralnaya' meaning central). These markings IMHO are erratic and usually very hard to read. In Russian, the letter 'I' does not appear. The others are Cyrillic forms, and also Greek, Serbian, Bulgarian etc.
