VASE “DAISIES” IMPERIAL PORCELAIN FACTORY RUSSIA, SAINT PETERSBURG, 1915

An expressive and rare porcelain vase “Daisies,” created in 1915 at the Imperial Porcelain Factory, belongs to the significant works of the late Imperial period. The conical form, gently narrowing towards the base, reflects the aesthetics of Russian Art Nouveau and the era’s characteristic unity of silhouette. The painted frieze of field daisies was executed after a design by Nikolai Fyodorovich Daladugin. The decoration is carried out in underglaze polychrome technique with a monochrome ground covering. The floral motif is treated with painterly freedom and subtle tonal transitions, creating an effect of depth and lightness. The vase was produced during the First World War and was intended for charitable auctions of the Imperial Family. The proceeds were directed towards sanitary trains, hospitals, and assistance to wounded soldiers. Marks: Green underglaze mark stamped on biscuit “H II 1915” beneath the Imperial crown; incised initial “M” in the body - turner Gavriil Stepanovich Mironov.
