Lomonosov Porcelain Bindweed Teapot - Large 6 Cups - Rare Unused 22 Karat Gold

This beautiful piece is entirely hand painted including the 22 karat gold. The cobalt blue is one of the factory's signature colors. It is so vibrant and beautiful! The six cup teapot is no longer being made and is extremely hard to find. Amazon is currently selling a copy of this teapot in the 3 cup size. Material: hard-paste porcelain. Capacity 6 cups. Measures 7 ¾ inches tall, 10 ¼ inches width. Shape: Tulip. Shape designer S.Yakovleva. Pattern designer N.Slavina It has the red LFZ monogram export backstamp with red "Made in Russia" used from 1991 to 2002. Due to the hand painted aspect it is recommended that the porcelain be hand washed in warm water with mild detergent. All of my listed Russian Porcelain was purchased in 2001 directly from the Factory in Russia. I had planned on opening a tea room and having this amazing porcelain available. But the tea room never opened and every piece has been in storage since purchasing (22 years ago). All pieces are authentic Russian porcelain, all but two pieces have the burgundy colored 1992 - 2002 mark, two pieces have the “domestic” mark (logo only) and one piece has the 2002-2006 mark. The pieces are all unused, in new condition, no chips, marks, nits etc. The pieces are new and not copies (which the factory started making in 2005). Most pieces are discontinued and some are very rare. I have seen that the factory is selling through Amazon for some of their pieces. Just be aware that those pieces are copies.
