Dinner plate
Dateca. 1837-55
Label TextFrom the Kremlin Service designed by Fedor Solntsev (1801–1892). Tsar Nicholas I requested that the Kremlin Service be in “old Russian taste.” In designing the service, Solntsev took inspiration from seventeenth-century Russian and Turkish enameled metalwork in the Kremlin’s armory. The motif on this plate for zabuski, hot hors d’oeuvres, is based on a gold wash basin from Constantinople. The Kremlin Service was planned for five hundred people.
