Lomonosov Porcelain Tulip Teapot, Forest Violets, 20 oz

The Lomonosov Porcelain Tulip teapot features the intricate Forest Violets pattern, designed by N. Pavlova, and is crafted in the distinctive Tulip shape created by designer S. Yakovleva. Each piece is constructed from hard-paste porcelain and is individually hand-painted, ensuring that every teapot possesses unique artistic characteristics. To verify authenticity, the original Lomonosov factory logo is marked on the bottom of each teapot, guaranteeing it as a genuine article from the Imperial Lomonosov Porcelain Manufactory.

Tracing its origins to 1744, the Imperial Russian Lomonosov Porcelain Manufactory was established by Empress Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great. The facility was born from the work of Russian scientist Dmitry Vinogradov, who independently developed the technology for Russian porcelain production. This achievement was the result of a long-standing interest by the Russian monarchy to replicate the techniques of porcelain manufacture, which had previously been kept secret by Chinese producers and later developed by European alchemists in the early 18th century.

This teapot has a capacity of 20 fluid ounces and measures 7.6″ in length, 3.94″ in width, and 5.31″ in height. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-painted porcelain, hand washing is recommended to maintain the condition of the finish. The production remains rooted in the historical techniques established at the Imperial Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in Russia, maintaining a legacy of craftsmanship that spans nearly three centuries.
