Stands about 9.5 cm tall to the top of the handle, 8 cm wide at the base rim. The artwork of the centerpiece in 3D high relief presents the monument to Yuriy Dolgorukiy, the founder of Moscow.

The original monument was erected in 1954 in Tverskaya Square in Moscow, right across from the Moscow City Hall. The bottom rim features the maker's mark "МЮ8МЕТ" for the Mstera workshop "Mstera Jewelers" and the QC mark "1 сорт" which indicates top quality rating. The number 8 in this position on the maker's mark dates the item as made in 1958.

In excellent, superb condition. Exceptionally clean and free of bumps, dings, nicks and scratches you would expect to see on a 1958 podstakannik. Very attractive mild patina adds character.

Please note: if you try to come up with a replacement glass liner, it should be made of tempered glass even though we urge you not to use this to drink from! We offer this strictly as a historic artifact (and dramatic stage prop for your dining room or study). We provide no warranty of its suitability for actually drinking hot beverages like tea or coffee. All we know is that it should look great sitting on a tray next to your antique family samovar.

Enjoy!
