During the reign of Catherine II the Great (1762-96) Russia achieved great success in the production of fine porcelain. These two figures belong to a group called ‘Catherine’s Porcelain’ produced between 1762 and 1801. The Lomonosov Porcelain Factory, established in 1744 and later renamed the ‘Imperial Porcelain Manufactory’ in 1765, was at the forefront of such high quality, hand-painted porcelain in Saint Petersburg. The Imperial Court’s constant demand for porcelain challenged the factory to maintain the highest quality production, which continued under the reign of Paul I (1796-1801).
