A large part of Ovchinnikov’s production in the 1870-1880s was designed in different historical and eclectic styles. Japonisme and Chinoiserie replaced dominant Neoclassical designs and became popular among Moscow clientele, reflecting a broader international taste for the aesthetic movement.
The present lot is comparable with other exceptional tea-wares enamelled in the Chinoiserie style, which were produced by Ovchinnikov in the 1870s. Comparable tea caddies were sold at Sotheby's, London, 4 June 2013, lots 497 and 498.
