A really well made glass beer mug from Russia; this is the perfect size for drinking beer. The historical heart of St. Petersburg, Tsarskoye Selo is depicted on this decorative mug.
Tsarskoye Selo (formerly known as Pushkin), which is depicted on this decorative ceramic cup, is one of St. Petersburg's numerous Imperial estates. Located just 25 kilometers south of the city, the estate boasts a large landscape park (almost 600 hectares), dotted with architectural follies, and centered on the magnificent blue, white and gold Catherine Palace. The Palace boasts a unique Amber Room, whose priceless amber panels were stolen by Nazi troops during WWII, but which are now being painstakingly recreated by Russian craftsmen. Another of Tsarskoye Selo's major attractions is the Lyceum, a boarding school that once taught the most celebrated of all Russian poets, Alexander Pushkin.
