Imperial Porcelain is unique, thanks to its contrast characteristics - its fragility and durability, its grace and truly imperial magnificence, its sparkling whiteness and purple and gold overtones, its cold elegance of shapes and its warmth of the super-light, thin-walled porcelain. The form and painting of this porcelain set were developed in the middle of the 19th century for a stamp collection and later restored by Galina Shulyak, one of the company's best artists (porcelain painted by her is represented in the collections of the Hermitage and the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg). This design is truly impressive with its majestic views of Moscow and its beautiful buildings of the 18-19 centuries, including old mansions and estates, magnificent columns, porticos, and rotunda... This classic beauty and gentility are emphasized by strict shapes and precise geometry patterns of the tea set. Over the years, the thin-walled porcelain, such as this, becomes more valuable as a true collectors’ and investors’ item.
