拍品專文

The Imperial Porcelain Factory first produced a series of plates with military scenes after the end of the Napoleonic wars, and continued to make them until the reign of Nicholas II. Those produced during the reign of Nicholas I (1825-1855) are without doubt the finest produced by the factory, and clearly reflect Russia's military society in which the Tsar and members of the Imperial family were the main figures.

These plates from the period of Nicholas I are painted with scenes taken from lithographs published in the book Sobranie mundirov rossiiskoi imperatorskoi armii [Collection of Uniforms of the Imperial Russian Army] of 1830, which reproduced drawings by Fedorov, Aleksandrov and Belousov. After his reign the Imperial Porcelain Factory was unable to attain quite such high standards, especially in the gilt and ciselé borders.
