What does an ancient tea set inherited from a grandmother hide within itself? After all, porcelain is not just an old cup, vase, or figurine. It is a keeper of warm memories of several generations and an object of passionate collecting. Over the years, porcelain has undergone many transformations. Having traveled a long way from China, where it was created in an atmosphere of deepest mystery, it was revived in Europe by alchemist-scientists and finally appeared in the Russian Empire.
