It focuses on the golden era of Russian porcelain, the period from the establishment of the first Russian porcelain factory during the reign of Empress Elizabeth, until the reign of Alexander II, when the branch was industrialized. Brilliantly-hued statuettes and full-page, exquisite color plates of porcelain pieces and bowls are represented, along with a learned commentary.
