Russian Standard announces Cloisonné edition

Russian Standard Vodka is launching the Cloisonné limited edition bottle exclusively in global travel retail. This is the third in the company’s limited edition series celebrating classic Russian craft. 

This travel retail limited edition bottle is inspired by the beautiful and meticulous Cloisonné artwork, highly prized by the Tsars of the Imperial Russian Court in St. Petersburg. The ancient technique uses intricate metalwork to create exquisite patterns incorporating enamels and gemstones. 

Predominantly used in jewellery-making and for decorating small objects, many of the beautiful Faberge Eggs created for the Russian Imperial family were carefully crafted with fine enamels and are the inspiration for this bottle. 

The Cloisonné limited edition of Russian Standard Original will reach stores in November and will be priced in line with Russian Standard Original.
