Cup Approximately 235ml when full Diameter: Approximately 9cm, Height: Approximately 7.5cm It looks best when serving about 180ml of a beverage. Saucer Diameter: Approximately 15cm The elegant, slender campanula bellflowers are lovely on the very distinctive, exotic shape that is characteristic of Lomonosov. At first glance, it appears almost entirely cobalt blue, but upon closer inspection, the veins of the petals are subtly expressed with variations in shade. The Hillwood Museum, located in Washington D.C., was originally the private residence of a wealthy individual who was once considered the wealthiest in the world. They collected art from around the world and lived with it. Among the luxurious art pieces, this cute campanula bellflower set was placed in a prominent location. Among the astronomical-priced art pieces, this campanula bellflower is surprisingly simple and has a gentle atmosphere, making it an everyday item. However, that may be why it was loved by the wealthy individual who lived surrounded by expensive art. ★ Lomonosov (Imperial) Porcelain Imperial Porcelain (formerly Lomonosov) This is a top-class Russian brand of tableware that has been in existence since 1744. It is a brand used at official Russian state banquets. It has also been introduced at high-end department stores such as Mitsukoshi in Nihonbashi and Isetan in Shinjuku. ★ Compared to cups sold in Japanese department stores, Lomonosov items tend to have a rather rough finish. Even when purchasing first-class new items, there may be minor scratches, small paint errors, splashes, and spots. Please understand this. However, as a Japanese person, I discard items that are too concerning, so I can deliver items that are no less than those found in high-end stores in Ginza or Russian department stores. ★ Due to the traditional "upside-down firing" method, similar to high-end Royal Copenhagen teacups, the rim of the cup has a unique "smooth" texture with a matte finish.
