Literature
The painting on this platter is most likely by, or after a design by, Mikhail Nikolaevich Mokh (1911-1978). Mokh, who worked at the Lomonosov Porcelain Manufactory from 1929-1941 and from 1953-1970, specialized in richly detailed, ornate designs based on tales and art set in Central Asia and the Caucasus such as "The Fountain of Bakhchisarai." See Gosudarstvennyi farforovyi zavod imeni M.V. Lomonosova, Leningrad, 1937, pp. 22-24.
