Vintage Soviet Tea Glass Holder

The Vintage Soviet Tea Glass Holder, also known as a Podstakannik, is a classic and iconic piece of tableware from the USSR in the 1950-70’s. It is made of enamel and is designed to hold a glass tea cup, keeping it stable and insulated while also protecting the hand from the heat of the tea. The holder is cylindrical in shape, with a wide base that provides stability, and a narrower top that holds the cup. It is decorated with a traditional and intricate floral pattern, often featuring bright and bold colors like blue and white, typical of Soviet-era design. The enamel material of the holder provides durability and resistance to scratches, chipping, and fading, ensuring that the holder will remain in good condition for years to come. ****These must have been through some rough times as there is a few chips which can be seen in the photos*** Overall, this Vintage Soviet Tea Glass Holder is a unique and charming piece of tableware, reflecting the style and design of its era, and adding a touch of nostalgia to any tea-drinking experience. Selling as a set even thought one is a cherry pattern and the other is different. Same color scheme though.
