I've always been partial to a set I first saw in the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was a child. It was made in the 1920s at the Lomonosov Porcelin factory. At one point I thought I might someday own such a set, but when one went up for auction about fifteen years ago, the price was over $10,000.

Have you noticed that ALL the Kings don't have a cross on top of the crown?

 

Also that ALL the Bishops do not have the cut on the hat that normal chess set have?

Must be about goverment and religion.

                                        I don't care for any of them.

 
 

We can see you are quite motivated by the  mundane plastic sets. You certainly have  good taste.

Frank, thanks for your pick, but this forum is not about the Dubrovnik set or comparisons with it or  other sets. Why don't you do a forum comparing the Dubrovnik with other sets?
