In 1900, on its 75th anniversary, the School was granted the title Imperial Stroganov Central School of Industrial Art. By this time it operated eighteen workshops, including those for metalwork, enameling, jewelry, and casting, where students combined theoretical study with practical training.
Guided by renowned masters, students produced works of remarkable quality, marked with the School’s special hallmark with Imperial warrant. These objects were presented as gifts, exhibited internationally, and sold through the School’s shop. Today, they are rare treasures, reflecting the peak of the national-romantic style in Russian decorative art.

The Imperial Stroganov School, founded in Moscow in 1825 by Count Sergey Grigorievich Stroganov (1794–1882), had become by the end of the 19th century one of Russia’s leading centers of art and design education.

A Russian Enamelled Copper Bowl
Usolye (Solvychegodsk),18th century
Dimensions: 4.5 х 9.5 х 9.5 cm.

Finely painted in polychrome enamel with stylized floral and bird motifs on a white ground, framed by circular and oval medallions against a deep cobalt-blue background. The composition combines strong color contrasts and rhythmic ornament, characteristic of the celebrated Usolye enamel tradition of northern Russia.

Usolye (then known as Solvychegodsk) emerged as one of the principal centers of Russian enamel art in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, founded under the patronage of the Stroganov merchant family. The early workshops, originally staffed by Novgorod craftsmen, developed a distinct regional style distinguished by vivid color palettes and expressive linework.

By the mid-seventeenth century, Usolye enamellers mastered painted enamel on copper, depicting large-scale floral and zoomorphic compositions—tulips, sunflowers, birds, and animals—set against white enamel grounds and separated by twisted filigree borders. These works were prized for their decorative richness and often adorned festive cups, caskets, mirrors, and domestic vessels.

Comparable enamelled wares from Usolye are preserved in the collections of the State Historical Museum, Moscow, and the Armoury Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin.
