Cup from the Imperial Yacht Standart Imperial Porcelain Factory, St. Petersburg, 1910 Porcelain, overglaze painting, gilding; underglaze green factory mark. Dimensions: 5.7 х 10.7 х 8.6 cm. A white porcelain cup decorated with the Imperial Standard of Russia — a yellow banner featuring the double-headed eagle. Produced by the Imperial Porcelain Factory for use aboard the Imperial Yacht Standart, the favorite vessel of Emperor Nicholas II. Built at the Burmeister & Wain shipyard in Copenhagen (1893–1896), the Standart was among the most luxurious yachts of its time, serving both as a royal residence and a venue for diplomatic receptions. Its onboard tableware combined elegance and practicality — stable, low-centered forms ensured safety during sea travel.
