Bone Porcelain Coffee Cup and Saucer based on Fairy Tales of A.S. Pushkin

This is a stunning bone porcelain coffee cup and saucer based on Fairy Tales of A.S.Pushkin. The painting is based on illustrations by I.Ya. Bilibin to “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel” by A.S. Pushkin. Drawings for the tales of A.S. Pushkin are one of the best pages in the artist’s creative biography, the most striking manifestation of the Bilibino style. In the painting of the tea pair “Dadon’s Army”, the style of the “ennobled pub” was used. The laconic, restrained color scheme is supplemented by a dynamic pattern and bright ornament, which logically completes the pictorial composition. This tale is by A.S.Pushkin, a famous poet in Russia and a novelist of the Romantic era who is considered to be one of the greatest poets in Russia and the founder of modern Russian literature. This poem originated in 1834 and is an opera which was firstly performed 1909 after the death of the composer. This coffee cup and saucer has a story of human weakness and passion of a King and a cockerel protecting his kingdom. The painting represents an army going to war with this evil creature to fight it and save human civilization and his precious kingdom. This set is fully functional, it is not microwave or dishwasher safe and the cup has a volume of 180ml. This was manufactured in the Imperial Porcelain Factory, St. Petersburg, founded in 1744.
