August HOLLMING: August Frederik Hollming (in Russian 'Golming'; 3 December 1854 - after 1915) was a Finnish silver- and goldsmith, and a FABERGE workmaster. Hollming was born in Loppi, Finland, the son of a bookkeeper, Anders Gustaf Hollming of Loviisa, and of Katarina Petterson of Uusikaarlepyy. Hollming was apprenticed to the goldsmith Carl Friedrich Ekholm in Helsinki at the beginning of the 1870s. In 1876, he settled in St.Petersburg and registered as a goldworker. In 1880, he qualified as a master and opened his workshop at 35 Kazanskaya Street; he was soon thereafter hired by FABERGE. He had three sons with Erika Gustava Abrahamsson (1856-1909). In 1900, the Hollming workshop moved to 24 Bolshaya Morskaya, under the same roof as FABERGE. He mainly produced cigarette cases in silver, gold, and enamel; miniature Easter Egg; and small gem-set, enameled jewels such as cuff-links, brooches, and pins. Many times he produced these objects for the House of FABERGE. The design of the jewelry was surprisingly modern and ahead of its time.

TEA: Tea is an important part of Russian culture. Due in part to Russia's cold northern climate, it is today considered the de facto national beverage, one of the most popular beverages in the country, and is closely associated with traditional Russian culture. Russian tea is brewed and can be served sweet, and hot or cold. It is traditionally taken at afternoon tea, but has since spread as an all day drink, especially at the end of meals, served with dessert. A notable aspect of Russian tea culture is the samovar, which is used for brewing.
