Up for your consideration is this rare CZAR NICHOLAS II, CORONATION ENAMEL, referred to as the CUP OF SORROW, CIRCA 1896. Not familiar with the story of how this historical beaker got its name? Well in the year of 1896 this cup was to be a gift of the Royal family to the people of Russia. On the day the cup was to be handed out word spread that the supply would not meet the demand. And thousands of people started shoving and many people got trampled on trying to get t cup. Thousands died on that day; so the name of the cup became "THE CUP OF SORROW". This beaker is in mint condition , no chips, cracks or dings. T is very little loss of print on the beaker. The cup measures 4"high and 3 3/4 wide. More pictures upon request. I have been retained to sell this peice of Russian history. In my research I found that cups like this have sold for $1500.00, However the reserve is much less then that! Insurance is required!
