Whatever you are up to, even just a simple moment for yourself at the breakfast table, a 5 o’clock tea, or an after dinner cup to finish the day, this is that buy it for life bone china. For anyone who may think it odd to use Russian porcelain for the 4th of July, Catherine the Great of Russia, a great patron of the company, refused a tidy sum from King George to provide him assistance during the Revolutionary War. The Russians could have crushed us then, but instead elected to rebuff the King of England in favor of helping the United States to achieve independence. Most Americans have no idea the United States would never have existed if the Russians had made a different choice!
