AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Enamel cup commemorating the marriage of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, enameled in 1896.

The cup bears the initials H and J, surrounded by a geometric pattern. On the other side is the emblem of Tsarischtisch with the double-headed eagle and the Crown of the Tsars.

The cup was made for the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. More than half a million spectators crowded onto the Khodynka field in Moscow. When the cups were distributed, thousands of people were crushed, some fatally.
It is the Tsarina who gave the name 'cup of sorrows'.

There are some missing parts on the edge, and the decorations are still very light.
The traces of use are not unusual, considering the history and age of these cuts.
Size: 11 cm high - 9.5 cm wide
A certain number of museums display this cup in their collection.
