Description :

A striking mid‑century Russian podstakannik beverage service, complete with six glass inserts and their original metal sleeve holders, paired with a footed pewter tray featuring decorative side handles. Each holder bears a Russian maker’s stamp on the base.

The metal sleeves showcase an embossed design celebrating space, rockets, and early space‑flight imagery—a visual language strongly tied to the Soviet space program of the mid‑20th century. The combination of bold space‑age motifs and delicate filigree work gives the set a rare blend of industrial strength and ornamental charm.

The accompanying tray measures approximately 12" x 8.5" x 2", offering a handsome display platform for the full service.

A compelling piece of historical memorabilia for collectors of Russian design, Cold War‑era artifacts, or anyone fascinated by the romance and ambition of early space exploration.
