Catalogue Note
Emperor Nicholas I initially ordered this austere service with the Imperial coat-of-arms and a blue band for use at the palace at Tsarskoe Selo. A second edition was ordered during the reign of Nicholas II to replace the lost and damaged tablewares. On this service, see T.N. Nosovich and I.P. Popova, Gosudarstvennyi farforovyi zavod, 1904-1944, St. Petersburg, 2005, p. 51 and E.S. Khmelnitskaia's entry in Geraldika na russkom farfore, St. Petersburg, 2008, p. 98.
