This elegant Russian bone china coffee cup and saucer have been created in St. Petersburg style. Their refined decoration sends us back to the 19th century, the romanticism age in Russia, the age of poets and the passionate attitude to life. Handcrafted at the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory.
The Lomonosov (Imperial) Porcelain Factory founded in 1744 in St. Petersburg by decree of Empress Elizabeth, Peter the Great's daughter, became the first enterprise in Russia and the third in Europe. This factory is a unique phenomenon. Its porcelain represents indeed the traits of typically Russian perception of beauty. Their masters create hand-made and hand-painted porcelain and continue noble artistic traditions set by famous Russian sculptors and artists. The porcelain of the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory is exhibited in the largest Russian and foreign museums all over the world, such as the State Hermitage, the Russian Museum, Saint-Petersburg, the State Museum of History, Moscow, the Victor and Albert's Museum, London, Metropolitan Museum, New York, and others.
