Item Details
Description
A leaf-shaped plate from the service for Prince Potemkin, Konigliche Porzellan-Manufaktur,Berlin, ca. 1775. The leaf plate is decorated with a two-color green glaze with dark rose veining against a creamy white ground. Dimensions: 7 1/4 x 6 in. (18.4 x 15.2 cm).Gregory Potemkin (1739-1791) was one of Catherine II's most loyal advisors until the end of his life and was instrumental in helping her gain control of the Russian throne in 1762. The distinct shape of this plate is based on part of the famous Berlin Service made for Catherine at Berlin between 1770 and 1772. For the diplomatic gifts of porcelain made for the Empress, her heir, and her favorites at the Berlin manufactory, see Von Sanssouci nach Europa: Geschenke Friedrichs des Grossen an europaische Hofe, Potsdam: Stiftung Schlosser und Garten Potsdam-Sanssouci, 1994, pp. 110-139.
