Great set in a very good condition. There are some tiny scratches on the saucer (with a bigger one right in the middle), the cup has none. Some gold smudges near the rim at the back and on the handle.

Cup is marked in English, saucer in Russian and English

The set is decorated with 22-Karat gold and it is the exact copy of the cup and saucer from the collection of fine bone china "Silhouettes" at the State Russian Museum (St. Petersburg, Russia) produced by Lomonosov/ Imperial Porcelain.

The Cup is 7cm in diameter and 6.5cm tall. the Saucer is 12 cm in diameter.

"Uniqueness of Russian Bone china of Imperial Porcelain remains in its literally 'egg shell' thin structure combined with exceptional durability. The bone china is so thin that you can see a light coming through and a painting on the other side of the bone china wall. Russian bone china is white without any yellowish undertone."
