Catalogue Note
The original Kremlin service was commissioned by Nicholas I to the designs of Professor Solntsev. He drew upon 17th Century metalwork as a model, and specifically a gold dish made in 1667 for the Tsaritsa Natalia Kirilovna. Replacements produced by Popov Manufactory are rarely found on the market.
