The "Blues-Grid" design is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic "Cobalt Net" pattern, a celebrated classic of the Imperial Porcelain Factory. The soft pink hue pays homage to the original inspiration for this legendary motif—the "Personal" dinnerware set created for Empress Elizabeth Petrovna in the 1750s, now part of the State Hermitage Museum collection.
The Tulip shape was designed in 1936 by the esteemed artist Serafima Yakovleva, Honored Artist of the RSFSR. This shape gained widespread popularity with Anna Yatskevich's "Cobalt Net" design and remains one of the factory's most beloved forms to this day.
Each teacup holds 250 ml (8.5 oz) of timeless elegance.
