A Russian Imperial Porcelain Factory Plate from the Gatchina Palace Service
St Petersburg, Imperial Porcelain Factory, reign of Nicholas II, dated 1909.
Porcelain; overglaze painting, gilding.
Diameter: 23.8 cm.
Mark: green of Emperor Nicholas II beneath the Imperial crown, dated 1909.
A porcelain dinner plate from the Ordinary Service of the Gatchina Palace, known as the service “with the coat of arms and gilt rim” or the “Service with Large Eagles.” The plate is of circular form, with a broad white border and a gilt line to the rim and well. The upper part of the border is decorated with the Russian Imperial double-headed eagle, finely painted in black, red, green and gold.
The Imperial eagle forms the principal decorative motif of the Gatchina service. In its talons it holds a flaming torch, wreath and thunderbolts, emblems traditionally associated with sovereign authority, victory and dynastic power.
The mark on the reverse, the green cipher of Nicholas II with the date 1909, identifies the plate as a product of the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St Petersburg during the last reign of the Romanov dynasty. The service was connected with the table appointments of the Great Gatchina Palace, one of the principal suburban residences of the Imperial family. Built in 1766-1781 to the design of Antonio Rinaldi for Count Grigory Orlov, the palace later became closely associated with the Romanovs and was among the favoured residences of the court.
Condition: small chip to the rim.
