專家說明

The little vodka tumbler and the miniature carafe for oil or vinegar are from the Emperor's Own Service from the Countryside Residence, 'Alexandria' in Peterhof and are decorated with the coat of arms of 'Alexandria'.

Nicholas I built the Countryside Residence in 1827-29 in the medieval style. The palace was intended as the Summer Residence for his wife, the Empress Alexandra Fedorovna (1798-1860). The famous Russian poet Zhukovskii designed the coat of arms for the palace, illustrating the Tsar's enthusiasm for the Gothic style.
