Produced in Leningrad in the mid-20th century, this piece exemplifies the refined artistry and technical excellence of post-war Soviet silverwork.
The cup features an elegant pedestal form adorned with stylized foliate panels rendered in layered blue enamel tones, accented by delicate scrolling details. The matching saucer mirrors the design, creating a cohesive and visually striking composition. The contrast between the cool enamel exterior and the warm gold-washed interior elevates the set from functional serviceware to a sophisticated decorative object.
Silver enamel tea pairs of this quality were produced in limited quantities and are now increasingly scarce, particularly complete sets retaining strong gilding and crisp enamel work. This example represents a superb acquisition for collectors of Russian silver, Soviet decorative arts, or fine enamel craftsmanship.
