Dinner With the Tsars: Russian Imperial Porcelain
Friday February 18, 2011 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
The Museum of Russian Art
5500 Stevens Ave
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55419 Get Directions
This exhibition brings together approximately one hundred and forty superb examples of Russian porcelain wares produced at the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg during the rule of the Romanovs. The beautifully crafted, hand-painted objects present visitors with examples of inspired decorative settings and tableware used by the sovereigns and guests of the House of Romanov. From its inception in 1744 until the last days of the Russian Empire in 1917, the Imperial Porcelain Factory produced beautiful dinnerware and decorative pieces for the royal homes of the Tsars. Additionally, the royal household requested special commissions for unique diplomatic gifts, dowry sets and other items. One of the earliest European porcelain manufacturers, the factory in St. Petersburg continues producing remarkable objects of decorative art to this day. 'Dinner With the Tsars' presents the very pieces that adorned the royal tables of the Emperors and Empresses of Russia.
