Catalogue Note
Another version of this design produced at the S.I. Maslennikov Manufactory is in the collection of the State Historical Museum in Moscow. Maslennikov sold the factory in 1889 and probably sold his molds and designs to Kuznetsov at the same time. See O.B. Strugova, et al, Russkii stil. Sobranie Gosudarstvennogo Istoricheskogo muzeia, Moscow, 1999, p. 138, no. 267.
