Peter I was the first porcelain enthusiast in our country: by his order, in 1740, a domestic recipe was developed, upon which our craftsmen began to create the first porcelain masterpieces. The first set was gifted to his younger daughter, Elizabeth Petrovna. In both the tsarist and Soviet eras, porcelain was not just a family heirloom passed down through generations and carefully preserved in cabinets. For artists, it was a kind of canvas. Before the revolution, porcelain painting was dominated by charming drawings, flowers, and monograms. After 1917, the designs on it took on a revolutionary character: it was adorned with factory landscapes, sickles, and hammers. Sergei Chekhonin — a pupil of Ilya Repin — invited painters who had never worked with porcelain before. Thus, Boris Kustodiev, Alexander Samokhvalov, and Kazimir Malevich painted dishes in an industrial spirit. The latter even created his own concept — suprematist porcelain. Today, Russian porcelain is a high art object, valued both in Russia and abroad. Most pieces are made in a single copy, making each item unique.
