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: 18,5 cm.
Mark: green cipher 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 restrained composition, with the heraldic device set against the white porcelain ground and framed by narrow gilt bands, reflects the formal character of palace table services made for official use at the Russian Imperial residences.
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.

Beaker from the Imperial Yacht Standart
Imperial Glass Factory, Russia, late 19th – early 20th century
Glass, engraved
Dimensions: 8.8 x 4.6 cm.

A rare beaker from the table service of the Imperial Yacht Standart, engraved with the imperial ensign depicting the double-headed eagle of the Russian Empire. The vessel reflects the refined simplicity and functional elegance characteristic of objects created for the personal use of the Imperial family.

The yacht Standart was built in Denmark by order of Emperor Nicholas II and launched in 1895. It became the Emperor’s favorite ship and a floating residence of the Imperial family for over two decades. Lavishly fitted with cherry, walnut, and ash woods, the yacht embodied understated luxury and impeccable craftsmanship. Following the Revolution, the Standart was converted into a minelayer, later into a floating barracks, and ultimately served as a target vessel in the 1960s.
