A fairy tale lion: a unique tableware collection appeared at the Department Store of the National Centre RUSSIA

---

Specifically for the National Centre RUSSIA, the Moscow ceramics brand "Lukomorye," a participant in the projects "Department Store" and "Made in Moscow," has created a special collection of tableware.

The lion, a symbol of the National Centre, has become the new protagonist of this exclusive tableware collection featuring fairy tale characters.

"Lukomorye" is a brand born from a love for native culture. Tableware, jewelry, and decorative items are hand-painted based on motifs from Russian fairy tales and traditional symbols. In addition to the image of the lion, one can find tableware featuring Baba Yaga, the Zmey Gorynych, the turnip, and geese-swans. Unique shapes and hand-painted designs add a special charm to these items. At the Department Store, it is possible to assemble the entire collection of unique tableware. Any piece from this brand would make a wonderful gift for the New Year holidays. 

Signature tableware from various regions is a special pride of the Department Store. Hand-painted tea sets, mugs, and plates delighted visitors during the RUSSIA EXPO and continue to amaze guests of the National Centre.

Modern beverage mugs from craftsmen of the Moscow region are also showcased here, harmoniously combining the traditional art of Gzhel with eco-friendly solutions. These porcelain coffee mugs, decorated in the classic style, come with special lids, making them convenient for on-the-go use. They offer a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic and paper options, demonstrating how traditions can adapt to contemporary demands. 

Particular attention should be given to the minimalist tableware collection from Buryatia, inspired by the region's national culture. Each item is a true work of art, thanks to its unique design and meticulously applied patterns. 

The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.

The National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
