Note du spécialiste

The technique of printing on porcelain was established in the 1810s, but was not very often used after the 1820s. During the reigns of Nicholas I and Alexander II tea services with printed motifs were produced, including the same pattern as on the present Easter egg.

For a comparable egg and information, see T. Kudriavtseva and H. Whitbeck, Russian Imperial Easter Eggs, London, 2001, p. 249, no. 195.
