EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a soup plate adorned with intricate gilt and enamel decorations, showcasing the coat of arms belonging to Christian Auguste, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst, and Johanna Elizabeth of Holstein-Gottorp. These distinguished individuals were none other than the parents of Catherine the Great, one of Russia's most influential rulers. The plate itself was crafted during the Qianlong period by Chinese artisans in the 18th century. Its diameter measures an impressive 23 cm, making it a remarkable piece that demands attention. The porcelain dish is part of a private collection owned by ePaul Freeman. The design on this soup plate exudes regality and elegance. With its oriental motifs and royal crown emblem, it serves as a testament to both Russian and Asian cultural influences. This armorial service dish holds historical significance as it represents the strong ties between Russia and China during this period. As we gaze upon this magnificent work of art, we are transported back in time to an era where kings and queens ruled with authority. It reminds us of Catherine II's reign as Empress of Russia and her lasting impact on history. A true treasure for any collector or admirer of fine art, this soup plate embodies sophistication while encapsulating centuries-old traditions from two great nations - China and Russia.
