Tea Cup from the Cobalt Caillouté Service
Imperial Porcelain Factory, St. Petersburg, 1881–1894
Porcelain, cobalt ground, gilding, painting, and burnishing
Mark: green underglaze “A III” beneath the Imperial crow.
A porcelain tea cup from the celebrated Caillouté cobalt service, richly decorated with gilded lattice ornament, floral cartouches, and cobalt-blue ground. The intricate gilding pattern — imitating cobblestone paving — gave the service its French name caillouté.
The design originated from a service produced by the Vienna Manufactory in 1786, gifted to Grand Duke Paul Petrovich by Archduke Joseph II of Austria. Closely following Sèvres forms and style, the lavish gilding and deep cobalt tone made it one of the most distinguished ceremonial services of the Russian court.
