This wonderful, collectible coffee cup and saucer set is painted with the design, created by Aleksey Vorobyovsky, who had worked in the Imperial Porcelain for over sixty years. This great master is responsible for over fifteen hundred designs, many of which are now parts of several museum collections, including the Hermitage, the Russian National Museum, the Kuskovo Estate, the Ariana Museum of Ceramic and Glass Art in Geneva, Switzerland, and many other public and private collections. From the very beginning, the master had defined the boundaries of themes for his designs to those, very dear to his heart and his own perception of the world. For example, he never painted summer or fall scenes, concentrating only on winter and spring. What's more, he never tried to illustrate life as it was in reality. Instead, he painted it the way it felt to him, where trees and flowers looked like no flora on Earth, and where people looked overly simplistic. And, on top of it all, Vorobyovsky never drew preliminary sketches - he always painted directly on porcelain!

- • Aleksey Vorobyovsky (1906 - 1992) devoted his whole life to the porcelain factory, already during his lifetime becoming a recognized classic of the Soviet porcelain. The artist turned to the elegant motifs of the Russian folk art. Reconsidering the elements of traditional Russian designs, the master developed his own style: bright, colorful images with graphic precision. Cup and saucer “Red Steed” is one of the examples of this line of A.V. Vorobyovsky's works.
