Lomonosov Porcelain: The Art and Legacy of Russian Ceramics

Lomonosov porcelain, renowned worldwide for its intricate craftsmanship and artistic beauty, holds a unique place in the history of ceramics. Founded in 1744 by Empress Elizabeth of Russia, the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory (now known as the Imperial Porcelain Factory) is the first of its kind in Russia and among the oldest porcelain manufacturers in Europe. Each piece of Lomonosov porcelain tells a story of cultural pride, innovation, and artistic expression, combining Russian traditions with European techniques to create ceramics that are both practical and elegant.

The origins of the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory trace back to the scientific pursuits of Dmitry Ivanovich Vinogradov, a Russian scientist and one of the first to master the complex chemistry of porcelain in Russia. Vinogradov's dedication led to the development of a unique Russian formula for hard-paste porcelain, aligning with Western advancements while establishing its own distinct character. Through decades of royal patronage and innovative design, Lomonosov porcelain evolved to become synonymous with Russia’s aristocracy and artistic heritage. In the early years, it was the exclusive purview of the Russian court, producing pieces for the imperial family and close allies.

The designs of Lomonosov porcelain have changed dramatically over centuries, yet its style has remained unmistakable. In the 19th century, the factory created luxurious tableware and decorative items inspired by classical art and nature, often with motifs that included floral patterns, animals, and scenes from Russian folklore. One of the most recognizable styles, the cobalt net pattern, became an iconic symbol of Lomonosov porcelain, embodying both traditional Russian aesthetics and modern design elements. Painted in deep cobalt blue on a white porcelain base, the intricate latticework of the cobalt net pattern continues to appeal to collectors around the world.

In addition to its distinct patterns, Lomonosov porcelain is celebrated for its durability and quality. The factory has maintained rigorous standards for centuries, ensuring that each piece is a work of art that lasts. During the Soviet period, the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory became more accessible to the public, expanding its production and adapting its designs to include Soviet symbols and themes. This shift allowed more people to appreciate and collect Lomonosov porcelain, increasing its popularity both in Russia and internationally. Despite political and social changes, the factory preserved its commitment to artistry and innovation, cementing its legacy in ceramic history.

Today, Lomonosov porcelain remains a sought-after item, valued by collectors for its artistic heritage and superior craftsmanship. The factory, now operating as the Imperial Porcelain Factory, continues to produce both classic designs and contemporary pieces that reflect modern tastes. With a blend of historical reverence and cutting-edge creativity, Lomonosov porcelain upholds its reputation as a symbol of Russian artistry and cultural resilience.

“Hundreds of flowers never fall to the ground”, one piece of fire will become the world’s favorite

The blooming and falling of flowers is an aesthetic artistic conception that literati in the past dynasties cannot refuse, but how to keep this beauty? In ancient times, in addition to painting, it can also be fired into porcelain!

In 2010, Beijing Poly Autumn Auction sold a gourd vase with a famille rose color for 22.4 million RMB. So how are the priceless “Hundred Flowers” fired?

One vessel burned into the world’s favorite

The Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty brought together a group of the most famous contemporary craftsmen, so the porcelain of this period reached an unattainable height in terms of both quantity and quality.

“Hundreds of flowers without revealing” is a way of expressing glaze on porcelain, which means that flowers of various colors fill the entire picture without revealing the bottom of the porcelain or the branches of the flowers.

The complicated firing process, rich colors, and colorful paintings of Hundred Flowers Porcelain are by no means accomplished by the efforts of a few people. If there are no good craftsmen to compose and design for it, and skillful craftsmen to apply color, wash and dye it, how can a piece be made and loved by the world?

Check out our collection of Vintage Teacup, we offer beautifully vintage china for your home.

First of all, the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to issue a drawing sample, design a drawing of a hundred flowers gathering, and deliver it to the Imperial Kiln Factory as a sample. For ingenuity.

Secondly, the craftsmen of the imperial kiln factory copied and sketched the drawing on the white porcelain body, which must be consistent with the original manuscript. No matter how superb the painter is, it cannot make up for the original charm of the drawing.

Third, the number of color materials prepared is the first among all porcelains. If a hundred flowers are not exposed to the ground, there are no less than 30 colors on one vessel. Therefore, before painting, all pigments for colored porcelain must be prepared. There are nearly a hundred kinds of colors. Each type needs to be debugged one by one. It is conceivable how much manpower, how much time will be spent, and how much cost will be paid in advance for the completion of this work.

Finally, painting, washing, and dyeing must go through the hands of several painters, and it takes more than ten days before it can be put into the kiln. Therefore, it took several months to complete a vessel, which cost a lot of money and is by no means comparable to other imperial porcelains. Such craftsmanship must appear in a world of prosperous craftsmanship.

During the Qianlong period, the art of porcelain was advanced, and Tang Ying, the emissary of pottery, devoted all his efforts to collecting the achievements of famous kilns in the past dynasties, including the essence of Chinese and foreign fine wares. The splendor of the ages. During this period, he not only advocated retro but also had the courage to innovate. The technological breakthroughs and artistic new looks brought about by him have written an important page in the history of Chinese art.

Just as “Tao Ya” said: “As far as Qianlong is concerned, there are extremely beautiful and delicate, almost ingenious workmanship.” Among them, a hundred flowers are not exposed, which is a precious and meaningful product of Qianlong imperial porcelain pastel ware, which has been treasured by collectors. So precious.

SOVIET AVANT-GARDE PORCELAIN

In the early years of the Soviet Union, radical politics and avant-garde art were united in the unlikely medium of porcelain ceramics.

In 1918, the new Soviet regime appointed artist Sergei Chekhonin to direct the newly re-organized Imperial Porcelain Manufacture near St Petersburg. The factory, which formerly catered only to the tsar’s family and the aristocracy, was charged with making high-quality ceramics available to the people. The rebranding of porcelain was also an viewed as an occasion to instill revolutionary fervor–texts and images expounding the principles of Communism and extolling the success of the new worker’s state were hand painted on to dinner plates and tea cups fired prior to 1917, and bearing the imperial stamp.

In 1923, avant-garde artists were asked to contribute designs for porcelain. Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, and El Lizzitsky authored multiple drawings which were then hand-transferred to porcelain by factory-trained ceramic painters. The Suprematists Nikolai Suetin, Ilya Chashnik and Ivan Puni scored major successes with brilliantly-conceived abstract patterns. Avant-gardeware was a surprise hit with the masses, far outselling figurative models and refuting the charge, soon to be made official doctrine by Stalin, that modern art was inherently elitist, decadent and antithetical to revolutionary principles.

The objects illustrated above are from a distinguished private collection of Soviet porcelain assembled in East Berlin. After the collapse of the DDR, the 60+ objects were sold to a Los Angeles dealer, who, in turn, sold the lot to a Los Angeles collector of Russian modern art in 1991. After his death in 2018, his estate is hoping to arrange a private sale of the collection.

Bowl with a Pine Branch

This bowl was made by Japanese potter Miyagawa Hanzan c. 1925 in the style of Nin’ami Dōhachi (1783 - 1855). It is decorated with a beautiful pine branch that wraps around the inside and outside of the object 🌲⁠ ⁠ Miyagawa Hanzan, who also made the wonderful shrimp vase we shared earlier this week, was the adopted son of Miyagawa  Kōzan, artist to the Japanese Imperial household and was one of the most pre-eminent potters of the Meiji period. He came from a long line of potters in Kyoto, and began studying fine art at a very young age. When Kōzan died in 1916, Hanzan took the name Kōzan II, and began to work with stoneware as well as porcelain. Sadly, the factory they ran together in Yokohama was destroyed in World War II.⁠ ⁠ Japan, 1925. Earthenware, thrown with hand-modelled, cut, and pierced decoration. See it in gallery 36.⁠
