The dowry services for the five daughters of Paul I had their genesis in 1796, the last year of Catherine the Great's reign, when the Empress commissioned porcelain dinner and dessert services for her granddaughters Alexandra Pavlovna (1783-1801) and Yelena Pavlovna (1784-1803). The shapes and decoration of the dowry services were based on the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory's Cabinet Service. Pieces from this service were completed prior to Yelena Pavlovna's marriage to Prince Friedrich Ludwig of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1799 and it is occasionally known as the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Service.
