This is a 1980 Summer Olympics commemorative, 3-piece porcelain coffee set. The set includes a cup, saucer, and pot with a removable lid. All three pieces are mostly white with a pink decorative pattern of birds and vegetation. Each piece also has decorative gold trim. The pot and the the cup feature an oval, gold trimmed 1980 Summer Olympics emblem on at least one of their sides. These trims show some wear. The handle on the pot's lid has been entirely broken off and is not present. The bottoms of each piece bear a stamped maker's mark, a MADE IN USSR mark, a number, and a small dab of ink (perhaps the same ink used to make the other marks). The bottom of the pot also has an etching that reads "B 11" and slightly overlaps the stamped markings.
