Russian Kuznetsov Porcelain Cup Decorated With Polychrome Enamel And Gilding, Circa 1900

An elegant porcelain cup from the Russian Empire, produced by the M. S. Kuznetsov Company at the Dmitrov factory in Verbilki, circa 1892–1917.

Its slightly curved cylindrical shape, flaring toward the base, is enhanced by a rich decoration of polychrome enamels on a gold background. Floral medallions, interlaced oval motifs, stylized flowers, and ornamental friezes combine shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, emerald green, ruby red, pink, and purple.

The sculptural handle, lavishly gilded, features alternating red and blue circular ornaments along its outer edge. The white interior is accented by a fine decorative gilded border beneath the rim.

The underside bears a gilded manufacturer’s mark featuring the double-headed imperial eagle, accompanied by the inscription “M. S. Kouznetsov” and the initials of the Dmitrov manufactory. An additional small painted mark is also present.
