I still remember the beautiful horses on Apollo's teacup - it was a real showstopper. The cup was large, with a whimsical design of horses from a carousel that had a dreamy, festive feel to it. We had to take everything apart during the pre-holiday chaos, and I didn't think I'd ever see it again.

While browsing a marketplace, I stumbled upon this tea set. It wasn't love at first sight, but the reviews caught my attention. I thought, why not add a touch of elegance to our tea service with a set inspired by the Summer Garden fence? It sounded amazing. Plus, I learned that the designers were inspired by the very same fence, which is a masterpiece of Russian classicism.

As it turns out, the Summer Garden fence was built during Catherine the Great's reign. It's an impressive 235 meters long, made of 36 granite columns topped with vases and intricately designed metalwork with gold accents. People praise its subtlety, how it doesn't overpower the view of the Neva River and the Summer Garden. Anna Akhmatova even mentioned it in one of her poems as the best fence in the world. A scientist, D.I. SOKOLOV, went so far as to call the Neva River embankments and the fence one of the wonders of the world.

This set's charm captured me the moment I saw it in the store. I'm glad I didn't let my doubts get the best of me, or we might have taken them apart. For now, they're safely stored, but Apollo's thinking of adding them to our permanent collection.

The set's design is truly unique, created by students from the Stieglitz Academy as part of a design competition. At first, I thought it was just a clever idea to put a symbol of cultural heritage on a cup. But there's something special about the combination of the delicate, milky-white porcelain and the elegant, turquoise-blue pattern.

Now, let's talk about the specs.

Material: Bone China.

Volume: 220 ml.

The set includes two cups and two saucers.

In everyday use, the set has been a joy. The volume is perfect for our tea infuser. I'd love to have a matching tea infuser in our collection! The cups are easy to use and clean, and they're safe for the dishwasher on a gentle cycle. You can even heat them up in the microwave, but I'm too attached to them to risk it.

The tea tastes great in these cups. I mention this specifically for those who've noticed that tea tastes different in various cups and saucers. I've had my fair share of tea in different cups, and this set has won me over.

My only complaint is the volume. It's a bit small, but the 'tulip' design from Duell has won me over.

I'm thoroughly impressed with this set. It's a masterpiece, both in design and functionality, and a beautiful tribute to one of St. Petersburg's iconic landmarks.
