Note du spécialiste

Alexei Viktorovich Vorobevskii (1906-1992) studied at the Pavlovsk Art School. He worked as a painter on porcelain at the Lomonosov Factory from 1926 to 1941 and 1946 to 1992. He was a master of decorative painting and ornament and is best known for his vases, services and presentation wares. While his early work was influenced by the 'World of Art' movement, by the 1950s he developed a fanciful style drawing heavily on folk art motifs.

For more on the artist, including illustrations of vases modelled in the same form, see A.K. Lancere, Aleksei Viktorovich Vorobevskii, Leningrad, 1980.
