An Antique 19th Century Russian GARDNER PORCELAIN Large Bowl Plate.
Gardner Porcelain Factory (Verbilky, Moscow): circa 1880.
This beautiful porcelain bowl is from the highly collectable Imperial Russian porcelain production of the 19th Century and is an original GARDNER FACTORY Porcelain. Gardner Porcelain Factory was one of the most superior and excellent manufacturers of fine porcelain between 1766 - 1892 Russia. Their production matched those of the best Western European competitors of the time and this piece's beauty reflects that clearly.
This piece was made around 1880 and was completely hand painted.
The diameter of the piece is 30 cm (12 inches) and the its stands 10 cm (4 inches) tall. The condition of this piece is very good and with NO restoration, no chips, only one thin crack (see images), but it no so hard to restore, no hairlines, Some gold is aged, worn off- which is pretty normal for this type of antique porcelain.
Gardner Factory Mark is on the bottom and consists of Imperial Eagle and the word Factory Gardner and Moscow. Underneath the Factory mark the word 'Gardner' is written in Farsi. This is because by around mid 19th Century Gardner Factory was so prestigious that they were commissioned by Central Asian Monarchies and Elite (possible Bukhara Sultanate) to produce Porcelain for them.
