See Natalia Kasakiewitsch, "Entstehung und Geschichte des Andreas-Services", Keramos 1995, Heft 149, S. 47-52 for a dedtailed discussion of this service, originally made by Meissen and presernted to the Empress by Augustus III (1696-1763) in 1744. Some 440 pieces of the service are listed in an inventory, dated 5 November 1745, of certain chattels belonging to the Imperial household of St. Petersburg.
The present examples are likely replacement pieces made in Russia in the 1760's and painted with the eutsche Blumen then fashionable instead of with the Holschnitblumen found on the earlier examples. The present plates also differ in that they have a gilt line rim in place of a trellis rim.
