An artist cannot live and create outside of his time. This majestic festive cup continues the tradition of ceremonial works of the 18^th – 19^th centuries but in the new historical context. The motif of the cup was topical for its time but has already become history for us, still the beauty of the master's work will continue to amaze viewers in the future.
