Bossilka Radonitch (1883-1972) was born in Montenegro and moved to Russia in 1905. She worked at the State Porcelain Factory between 1920-1924 under the guidance of Sergei Chekhonin, whose stylistic influence is apparent on the present lot. In June 1924, she emigrated to Italy where she became a maid of honour to Queen Elena of Italy, who was the daughter of King Nicholas I of Montenegro. It is very likely that this cup and saucer were given as a present to Queen Elena from Radonitch herself.
