During the reign of Empress Elizabeth I (1741-1761), the St. Petersburg Glassworks operated under state control. As was customary during her reign, Elizabeth’s crowned cipher appears on the manufactory’s objects. Two additional medallions decorate this goblet. The first medallion has an engraved bust of Empress Elizabeth I. The second medallion has what appears to be a double-headed eagle painted in black with the image of St. George and the Dragon in gold on its breast. Bequest of Marjorie Merriweather Post, 1973 |
