Up for your consideration 19C Imperial Russian 8 porcelain cups with 8 silver cup holders by Kuznetsov porcelain factory in Moscow (Dulevo) produced for Asian markets. Each porcelain cup marked with red Kuznetsov porcelain mark for Asian market. No cracks, chips or repairs. Each cup hand painted with an Asian gold motif. Very good condition – very little loss to gold guild on the edges, which consistent with age of these rare pieces. Please, note that I did not clean them – will leave this part to the potential buyer.
Each cup accompanied with original silver cup holder. Cup holders are unmarked but positively tested for silver (could not tell more about the grade but most likely traditional 84 zolotnik). Cup holders originally gilded have a different level of gold gild loss (see photos); however overall in very good condition. Obviously there are some scratches and very small dents to the base consistent with age, nothing major.
