Lot Essay

The present plate is part of the service ordered by Catherine II for the Pavlovsk Palace. The Cyrillic initials 'PM' refer to the initials of Grand Duke Paul Petrovich and his wife Maria Feodorovna. The service was called the Moscow Service as it was produced at the Gardner Porcelain Factory in the environs of Moscow.

At present, a significant part of the service is housed at the Tsarskoe Selo Palace.
