Lot Essay

Stella Vengerovskaya started working at the State Porcelain Factory in 1923. Her style was largely influenced by Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya, whose designs she often painted on porcelain during her work at the factory between 1923-1926. The similarities in their style are prominent on the present platter, dedicated to the Sixth Anniversary of the Revolution of 1917. The State Porcelain Factory archives indicate that in 1923 Stella Vengerovskaya produced 2 platters called ‘The Sixth Anniversary of the October Revolution’.
We are grateful to Vladimir Levshenkov for his assistance with the research of the present lot.
