The distinctive fluted cup is paired with its matching saucer, both decorated in a richly contrasted cobalt-blue and white palette with gilt floral accents and rims.

The hard-paste porcelain cup combines alternating cobalt floral panels with white reserves and basket-weave decoration, while the saucer repeats the design concentrically with cobalt flowers, geometric basket motifs and delicate gilt detailing. The ribbed form adds further dimension to the surface and gives the set a particularly refined architectural character.

Produced by the Imperial Porcelain Factory under the Lomonosov name, the Bridesmaid Basket design is also encountered in the secondary market as Basket or Radiant Basket. The combination of cobalt decoration, fluted porcelain and gilt accents makes this matched pair especially appealing for collectors completing an existing service or assembling distinctive European teaware.
