Coffee Set of 8: 4 pairs of Porcelain Cups & Saucers, in cobalt blue with 22K gold leaf embellishments, by LFZ, 1960s.
Each cup stands approx. 2 ¼" tall, 3" wide at the lip, 1 ½" at the foot. The saucers are 5" across. Rich ornamental 22K gold leaf ornament against deep cobalt blue background. Manufactured by Lomonosov Porcelain Factory (LFZ). Maker marked on the bottom of each cup and saucer (fig. # 489 in Volume One of Marks on Soviet Porcelain, Faience, and Majolica, 1917-1991 by Nasonova et al). The pentagonal Quality Sign and red color of the marks signify top quality rating. The Quality Sign was awarded by a special commission and only for a limited time.
In very good to excellent condition. One of the cups has a vertical crack that is barely visible on the inside and completely invisible on the outside. We could not capture it properly in a photo, and we do not think that, with proper care, it is a threat to the integrity of the cup. The gold plating on the cups is intact and has retained its full original luster. Only the gold band running around the lip shows the smallest amount of usage wear, not easily noticeable and not detractive. The saucers are pristine.
Please note that the teaspoon in our photos is for size reference.
