Note du spécialiste


The shape and decoration for this tankard was inspired by a 17th-century tankard illustrated by Feodor Solntsev, which appears in The Antiquities of the Russian State, the monumental work documenting Russian artefacts with over 500 illustrations. A comparable tankard by Pavel Ovchinnikov was sold at Christie's, London, 7 June 2021, lot 224.
