This important private collection of Russian porcelain provides a rare and comprehensive view of the variety of works executed by the Imperial Porcelain Factory and other major Russian private porcelain factories. Spanning a range of genres and time periods, it stands as a valuable record of porcelain production from the reign of Empress Catherine II through the 20th century. Alongside prime examples of more familiar works from the Gardner and Imperial Porcelain Factories, the collection is highlighted by exceptional figures from the Popov, Miklashevsky, and Kornilov Brothers factories. Carefully assembled from the early 1900s, the present collection appears on the market for the first time. A group of porcelain works of this range, including rare figures, Easter eggs and plates, is rarely seen outside of museum collections. PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT SCANDINAVIAN COLLECTION
