    Cobalt Frieze Sugar Bowl.  The glamour of Cobalt Frieze reflects the high regard in which Classicism was held in Russian porcelain manufactory. It was here that restrained naturalism and formal classical beauty forged the ideal traditions of Empire china. Blue and 22kt gold on a milky white background (pictures don't do the white justice). Backstamp indicates a production run around 2005.  Interestingly, the legend on the backstamp shows the then current intent to increase the market and marketability of this pattern to the West. This is expressly stated on the backstamp: "Microwave and dishwasher safe". Cobalt frieze in its original form was decorated with thin lines of genuine gold. As most everyone knows, anything with metal, such as gold, can't be used in a microwave oven due to it's reflectivity and susceptibility to arcing. Thus, the gold was eliminated in order to increase it's practical utility. Needless to say, it didn't work. Since this pattern has been discontinued, certain marketplaces have artificially enhanced the desirability of Cobalt Frieze, even in its "no gold" form, but, be forewarned, that it was intended to be utilitarian. Perhaps, the gold version is more "collectible", but obviously less useful.
