專家說明

During the reign of Alexander I (1801-1825) the Imperial Porcelain Factory embraced the European Empire style and therefore abundantly used classical sources for inspiration. The result was the formation of a unique Russian Neo-Classical style, characterised by its richness, opulence and colour, of which the present vase is an example.
For a comparable porcelain vase of similar form and size by the Imperial Porcelain Factory with handles shaped as two putti, dated 1823, see N. B. von Wolf (ed. V.V. Znamenov), Imperatorskii Farforovyi Zavod, 1744-1904, St Petersburg, 2008, p. 251.
