Tsarina Appraisal

Tsarina Blue Bone China Coffee Pot

This is a fine bone china coffee pot featuring a distinctive tapered cylindrical body with a flared pedestal base, accompanied by a matching sugar bowl and creamer shown in the foreground. The design is characterized by a rich, textured deep blue glaze that mimics a stippled or lapis lazuli-like effect across the main body and lid. Contrasting this blue are crisp white accents on the spout, handle, base, and the shoulder of the pot. Decorative elements include heavy gilding with 22-karat gold, most notably a series of ornate neoclassical 'tassel' or 'drapery' patterns bordering the upper rims. The lid is topped with a domed finial finished in gold. The handle is an elegant angular 'D' shape, fully gilded along the outer edge. The style is heavily influenced by Russian Empire aesthetic or Neoclassical revival, reminiscent of high-end porcelain manufacturers seperti Lomonosov or Bernardaud. The construction shows high-quality glaze application with no visible crazing, though there is a small white speck (possibly a glaze pop or minor nick) visible on the right side of the blue dome on the lid. The gilding appears well-preserved with minimal rubbing, suggesting a 20th-century manufacture date, likely late 1980s to early 2000s based on the crispness of the transfer-printed guilding and form.
