Tsar Hunt Liqueur Set |
This mouth blown, hand-cut colored cased crystal collection has engraved images of Tsar hunting: bear, deer, elk, wild boar.
This collection is dedicated to the hunting village in Gatchina near St. Petersburg. Alexander II of Russia used Gatchina Palace as his second residence. He built a hunting village and other additions for his Imperial Hunting Crew, and turned the areas south of Gatchina into his retreat, where the Tsar and his guests could indulge in living country-style among unspoiled wilderness and woods of north-western Russia.
