Lomonosov china - often considered Russia's finest china (if there was any contest). The china factory was founded in 1744 by decree of Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, and named for Russia's famous 18th century academic scientist and writer, Mikhail Lomonosov. Using alabaster porcelain technology, the china is whiter than usual, delicate and translucent, so translucent that you can almost see through it, not to mention the lovely tonality of the ring, when you tap the side of the cup with your finger. .I start the morning with a bang in Acapulco courtesy of Villeroy and Boch and end the day in Russia, courtesy of Lomonosov!

ReplyDeleteLomonosov china is my ALL TIME favorite tea china. I'll never forget the moment when I held a Lomonosov tea cup in my hands for the first time. I was served some of the finest green tea in it, but you know what? Forget about the tea - all I remember is the delicate touch of the lightweight fragile china with its gorgeous pattern. Completely transformed the way I look at porcelaine today...
ReplyDeleteStylish blog! I'm a follower now.
Green - I do agree with you, it seems to be far better porcelain than english (except maybe Shelly, which has the quality, but lacks sometimes on the decoration)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my blog!
