Императорский Фарфоровый Завод. Три века совершенства (англ)

This publication is timed to coincide with the 275th anniversary of the Imperial Porcelain Manu-factory, the earliest porcelain enterprise of Russia. In the course of a little less than three centuries the factory has remained a generally recognized centre of Russian porcelain art. The works created at this enterprise in different historical periods are the pride of museums and private collections in Russia and abroad. This art book offers a survey of the most significant periods in the history of the enterprise from the date of its foundation to the present time. The texts are accompanied by lavish and colour-ful illustrative material providing a vivid glimpse of the birth, development and preservation of the traditions of Russian artistic porcelain. Amply represented in the volume are works by contemporary artists of the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory, some part of which are published here for the first time.
