Hello Everyone,
Well, it took some digging, but I found the manufacturer of my latest teacup by identifying the backstamp on the website found HERE. It was made by the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I fell in love with the delicate shape and design.

The Lomonosov Porcelain Factory is the prior name of the current Imperial Porcelain Factory (Manufactory.) It was first established in 1744 in the town of Oranienbaum (Lomonosov.) Many collectors still refer to the Imperial Factory as Lomonosov. According to the backstamp on my cup, it was made prior to 1991.
As a novice teacup collector, I'm enjoying the research and history involved with learning about them. I'm beginning to see how one can learn to recognize the country of origin by the shapes and designs of these beautiful works of art. I hope you've enjoyed seeing the latest addition to my collection!
Until next time,
Cindy
