Catalogue Note
Under the direction of Georgy Monakhov, the Imperial Stroganov School's ceramic workshop experimented extensively with new glazes that allowed ceramics to imitate other materials such as metal or jewels. In this case, the ceramic body has been glazed to imitate the wood of a traditional kovsh.
