Lomonosov Porcelain Baskets Bridesmaid 2 Tea Cups Saucers First Quality - Rare

This beautiful piece is entirely hand painted including the 22 karat gold. It is an extremely rare piece that is hard to find and the pattern has been discontinued. When I purchased these the pattern was called "Baskets". The copies are called "Bridesmaid" pattern. The cobalt blue is one of the factory's signature colors. It is so vibrant and beautiful! With two sets you can keep one for yourself and give one as a gift. • Material: hard-paste porcelain. • Cup measures L 4.4", W 3.6", H 2.9"; Capacity 8 fl.oz. • Saucer measures D 5.7", H 1.1" . It has the red LFZ monogram export backstamp with red "Made in Russia" used from 1991 to 2002. It is also stamped with 1C, which means First Quality. Due to the hand painted aspect it is recommended that the porcelain be hand washed in warm water with mild detergent. All of my listed Russian Porcelain was purchased in 2001 directly from the Factory in Russia. I had planned on opening a tea room and having this amazing porcelain available. But the tea room never opened and every piece has been in storage since purchasing (22 years ago). All pieces are authentic Russian porcelain, all but two pieces have the burgundy colored 1992 - 2002 mark, two pieces have the “domestic” mark (logo only) and one piece has the 2002-2006 mark. The pieces are all unused, in new condition, no chips, marks, nits etc.
