The service was made in 1826 to the coronation of
Emperor Nicholas I. The commission was fulfilled
in great hurry and it was decided to use white
unpainted and unmarked wares made in the reign
of Alexander I. Initially, the service comprised six
dozen of serving and three dozen of soup plates,
dishes, gueridons, fruit bowls, and others, as well
as porcelain candlesticks. Its décor corresponding
to the event is very festive and it also celebrates
Russia's power and prestige following the
Napoleonic Wars. The borders are decorated with
ornamental friezes of trophies, helmets, wreaths,
swans and floral patterns. The medallions made
in the printing technique followed by polychromatic
painting adorned with the state arms with the chain
of the St. Andrew This service was actually used
on Czar's table during his coronation dinner, and
after that it appears the service was returned
to the Winter Palace never to be used again.
