專家說明

The Dowry Service for Grand Duchess Ekaterina Pavlovna (1788-1819), daughter of Paul I, was manufactured between 1799 and 1802. It is often called the Württemberg Service due to her second marriage to Wilhelm of Württemberg, following the death of her first husband, Prince Peter Friedrich Georg of Oldenburg. The service was given as a wedding present by Alexander I to his sister Ekaterina Pavlovna and her husband Wilhelm I, King of Württemberg (1781-1864).

For further information on this service, see N.B. von Wolf (ed. V.V. Znamenov), Imperatorskii farforovyi zavod, 1744-1904, St Petersburg, 2008, pp. 162-166.
