A "Hoffmanniana" collaborative project with Mikhail Shemyakin. Hard porcelain, overglaze décalcomanie decoration, hand-painted. Production of the item began in 2006. The drawing’s author is Mikhail Shemyakin. The service's painting was created by Mikhail Shemyakin according to a special collaborative project with LFZ and is dedicated to characters from the ballet "The Nutcracker," staged on the stage of the Mariinsky Theatre in sets and costumes by the world-renowned artist. The refined, exquisite coloration harmoniously complements the form of the service, designed in the late 19th century at the Imperial Porcelain Factory. Natural gold with semi-precious agate engraving was used in the painting. The service is new and in excellent condition.
