The art behind the porcelain
Porcelain materials and decoration
Explore the Russian porcelain tradition of St. Petersburg through materials and decoration in selected Lomonosov Imperial Porcelain collections.
Made by hand
The current animal-figurine selection includes hard and soft-paste porcelain. Check the material and decoration recorded for the particular figurine.
Selected tableware collections include hand-painted cobalt lines and floral motifs.
Cobalt, line by line
In the Cobalt collection, deep underglaze blue is paired with natural gold. The manufactory's artists paint each piece by hand, building its pattern from individual lines and accents.
The finishing detail
Different collections call for different decoration. Calenda combines overglaze polychrome decoration and gilding. Its wreath design uses a special relief-paint technique, giving the painted detail its raised finish.
