Catalogue Note
Another version of this design produced at the S.I. Maslennikov Manufactory is in the collection of the State Historical Museum in Moscow. Maslennikov sold the factory in 1889 and the molds and designs were probably included in the sale. See O. Strugova, et al, Russkii stil, Moscow, 1999, p. 138, no. 267.
