About the item:
The tale of the fisherman and the golden fish is a beloved work by A.S. Pushkin. The plot of the fairy tale reveals how cautious one should be with their desires. The old man, as the main character, is depicted in the tale not as a feeble person, but as humble and wise.
In many Russian fairy tales, miracles often come into a person’s hands. Here, the old man catches a golden miracle fish in his net. He worked hard for his catch but released the pleading fish without asking for anything in return. He considered the miracle itself to be his reward. Such selflessness and kindness are characteristic of our people, and this theme has been captured by the artists in the presented item.
The tea set "Golden Fish" consists of a cupholder and a teaspoon. The net, intertwined with seaweed, is the main part of the cupholder and harmoniously merges with the handle, which is crafted in the shape of the old man pulling his net. The lightness and realism of the net remarkably complement the fairy-tale, sometimes humorous, image of the old man. His figure appears worn from long labor, yet his face is frozen in genuine astonishment at the unusual catch. An integral part of the composition is the golden fish itself, placed atop the wave — at the tip of the teaspoon. The composition dynamically transforms into a dialogue between the old man and the Golden Fish. Despite the subsequent unfolding story of this fairy tale, the Golden Fish has remained a symbol of luck and the embodiment of dreams in our culture.
