Lot Essay
THE PERM SERVICE
For further information on the Perm Service, see the footnote to the preceding lot.
Sebald Henrich Blau made another tureen and stand for the Perm Service (a pair to lot this lot) now in the State Historical Museum, Moscow (H. Seling, op. cit. p. 656, Museum Inv. No. 81671). The later replacement cover of this tureen is directly copied from that example. Blau also contributed a tureen and stand of 1781-1783 to the Kharkov Service (now in the Kremlin Museum, Moscow, Museum Inv. No. 15777) and worked on the Riga service (see Christie’s, London, 10 July 2014, lot 3 for a pair of sauceboats on stands; and lot 102 in this catalogue for more information on the Riga service).
