My dear daughter brought this cup and saucer to me from Russia when she went on a missions trip during Christmas 2004.The purpose of the trip was to serve and bring the Gospel to hundreds of "Pensioners".
The "Pensioners" are the retired school teachers whose lives changed at the end of the cold war. Once in a very honored position, they were now living with little. But once a year, a small group of young people would serve them a banquet meal, share God's Love and bring a little bit of cheer into their lives.After sharing my beautiful Tea Set last week, I thought you would like to see the Tea Cup.

Hello Joycelyn,
I think this is a tea cup made by Gzhel/Russia. Its is very nice, this bright cobalt blue is really eye catching. Nice idea to bring the Ghospel to the pensioners and I am sure they enjoyed it much. So your cup is a lovely souvenir from Russia. Thank you for sharing this outstanding cup.
Greetings, Johanna

I agree with the ladies. Your teacup and saucer is just gorgeous.
I love the flowery thin on it. Very romantic.
TY for the story about your daughter's trip in Russia. It isn't far from where I live.
Happy Mid-week & Thanksgiving Day ahead.
