Product description:
We offer you an elegant collectible flower vase, made at the famous Kislovodsk souvenir factory (in the future - the Phoenix factory). Kislovodsk porcelain is traditionally famous for its originality, high quality of workmanship and recognizable ceremonial style.
The vase has an exquisite figured edge, reminiscent of the petals of an open tulip. It is decorated with a deep, rich cobalt coating, on top of which is applied an elegant white ornament and rich hand-painted gold (gilding). The contrasting combination of deep ultramarine, snow-white glaze and noble shine of gold creates a luxurious visual effect. Such a thing will be a wonderful decoration of a classic interior or a worthy addition to a collection of Soviet art porcelain.
