The foliate moldings and figural handles recall vases produced by the Imperial Porcelain Factory during the reign of Alexander I, also unmarked (Imperatorskii Farforovyi Zavod, 1744-1904, St. Petersburg, 2003, p.150, fig. 227; exhibition catalogue, La table des tsars, porcelains du palais de Pavlovsk, 1994, p. 53, fig. 19; L.R. Nikiforova, Russkii farfor v Ermitazhe, Leningrad, 1973, plate 105; Russian Porcelain in the Hermitage, Aurora Art Publishers, Petrograd, 1973, fig. 105). For a vase with identical applied foliage, also from the period of Alexander I, see 250 Years of Lomonosov Porcelain Manufacture St. Petersburg 1744-1994, St. Petersburg, 1994, p. 67. A pair of vases in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg, with similar decoration and related figural handles is dated to the late 1820s (period of Nicholas I). See Tamara Kudriavstseva, Russian Imperial Porcelain, St. Petersburg, 2003, p.118 (illustrated).
