Lot 0142
Interesting Desk Set in the Memory of French Russian Alliance
Estimate: 500-700€An interesting Russian desk set commemorating the Franco-Russian Alliance (1891–1894).
Porcelain, polychrome painting.
Height: 26.5 cm.The composition depicts two soldiers — one French, the other Russian — standing together in a friendly handshake, symbolizing the military and political union between the two nations at the end of the 19th century. The French soldier is dressed in a grey-blue tunic and red trousers, while the Russian wears a dark green uniform with red shoulder boards and a fur cap. At their feet lie a drum and a cannon barrel, linking the scene to a martial setting.
The piece likely served as a desk accessory, combining decorative and symbolic purposes. Such objects were produced in Russia around the time of the Franco-Russian Alliance, a pivotal event that reshaped the European balance of power before World War I.
The alliance, formalized between 1891 and 1894, united Republican France and Imperial Russia in mutual defense against the growing threat of Germany and Austria-Hungary. It marked the beginning of the diplomatic configuration later known as the Triple Entente.
This porcelain figure embodies the spirit of solidarity and goodwill between the two nations and stands as a vivid example of late 19th-century commemorative art, blending political symbolism with the charm of genre porcelain sculpture.

Günther Factory, St. Petersburg, mid-19th century
Faience
Height: 17.7 см.A rare faience pitcher decorated with reliefs of hunting trophies—small game animals—and a handle in the form of a fox peering into the vessel. The design recalls the rustic wares of Bernard Palissy (ca. 1510–1589), the French Renaissance ceramicist celebrated for his naturalistic reliefs of plants and animals.
The Günther factory near St. Petersburg, founded by merchant Fyodor Khristoforovich Günther around 1818, produced a wide range of faience wares, some inspired by Wedgwood. Its pieces were noted for their durability, strong glazes, and ability to withstand heat. The factory remained active under members of the Günther family until the 1860s, after which production ceased.

Transparent turquoise-blue glass; gilding and polychrome enamel.

Circular body with central perforation, on a tall foot, with handle and elongated stopper. Decoration includes ornamental bands and stylized vine scrolls with leaves and grape clusters, highlighted with delicate geometric patterns.
This piece represents a refined line of Historicism at the Imperial Glass Manufactory—traditional Russian taste executed with transparent enamels on clear tinted glass. The luminous palette was achieved by the technology of transparent enamels, developed by chemist D. A. Kartsev in the 1830s. Mostly works of this kind were painted under the supervision of I. I. Murinov, head of the painting workshop from 1873 through the 1890s. A kumanets (in the form of kalach) is a traditional disc-shaped vessel for water and wine, widespread in Ukraine; this glass example follows that form.

The Gardner Porcelain Factory, founded in 1754 by Francis Gardner, an Englishman working in Russia, became one of the most renowned manufactories of the Empire. Over two centuries it produced masterpieces of porcelain art that graced imperial palaces and aristocratic collections across Europe.Famous for its custom-made services featuring family coats of arms, crowns, and monograms, the factory received special recognition from Empress Catherine II in 1785, who granted it the right to use the Moscow coat of arms on its mark. Later, in 1855, it earned the right to bear the Imperial State Emblem of Russia, a distinction given only to the finest manufactories of the period.
These vases exemplify the refinement, craftsmanship, and artistic sophistication of Gardner porcelain in the high historicist style popular during the reign of Alexander II.
