★ Limited Stock ★ Brand New, First Class New Pink Lyushka New Rose Net Cup & Saucer Lomonosov = Imperial Porcelain = Imperial Porcelain This is a new model, and the gold stamp pattern on the saucer and cup has been removed, giving it a slightly more mature atmosphere with a touch less girlishness. The exterior features the same fine lattice pattern as before, with gold cross decorations in each lattice, creating a somewhat luxurious design. Lomonosov is a brand that is also handled by Mariage Frères and TWG. It has also been sold for a very short period at the Nihonbashi Takashimaya and Shinjuku Isetan events in the past. This is a color variation of the most famous Lyushka Cobalt Net. It used to be sold at a high price at TWG, but TWG has stopped selling it, and now only Mariage Frères sells this blue type for around 30,000 yen. It is a "color variation" of the Cobalt Net. The Cobalt Net has thick, blurred lines like a dyed ceramic bowl, but this one has crisp, clear, and not-too-sweet thin lines. It has a slightly mauve, deep rose color (gray-purple)渋 pink lattice pattern. The balance between sweetness and classicism is exquisite. Although it came later than the Cobalt Net, the luxurious tea set of Empress Elizabeth, which was the inspiration for the Cobalt Net, was made when the Lomonosov kiln was first opened, and it seems that it had this mauve pink lattice pattern, so in a sense, it can be said to be a more classic pattern. ★ Cup diameter approx. 10cm, saucer diameter approx. 15cm, cup full water capacity approx. 270cc, cup weight approx. 112g (When pouring normally to 80% full, it can hold about 180cc of tea.) (Although this is just my personal impression, it felt slightly larger, and despite its size, the cup felt rather light.) ★ Lomonosov porcelain, like the high-end line of Royal Copenhagen, uses "upside-down firing," so the rim of the cup has a unique "smooth" texture. However, please rest assured that the glaze is properly absorbed.
