Note du spécialiste

The present lot is an addition to a sixty-two piece dessert service by Coalport that was commissioned in 1845 by Queen Victoria to commemorate the state visit of Nicholas I to England in 1844. Nicholas later commissioned the Imperial Porcelain Factory to produce an additional one hundred twenty-four pieces to be used at great banquets at His Majesty's private table. Following the Revolution, some pieces from this service were sold by the Narkomat of Foreign Trade.
