The cup’s volume is 360 ml, with a height of 9.5 cm. Porcelain, underglaze monochrome decoration, overglaze polychrome decoration, and gilt accents. The “Porcelain Vase” cup and saucer are part of a porcelain series created by Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Tatiana Afanas’eva to commemorate the 320th anniversary of Saint Petersburg. The cup depicts a landscape of the Summer Garden featuring a Porfiry or Elfendal vase located near Karpiev Pond. Made at the Royal Manufactory of Elfdal, the vase was presented as a gift to Emperor Nicholas I by King Charles XIV John of Sweden. In the decoration, the artist intentionally utilizes vibrant cobalt and frames the landmark in gold, drawing a parallel with Galina Shulyak’s outstanding “Classics of Saint Petersburg” collection.
