Russian Gilded Floral Bowl by Aleksei Popov - Circa 1844

Yet another one of our favourite eBay finds. I purchase this Russian bowl from eBay over 5 years ago and with the demand for Russian porcelain and indeed the finest makers such as Popov, this is one we shall treasure for a lifetime. Alesksei Popov worked with Francis Gardiner producing porcelain for the Romanov imperial family until he decided to take the plunge and start his own porcelain works. Both Gardiner and Popov produced only the finest wares and supplied the Romanov Tsars with a great deal of porcelain. This floral hand painted and gilded bowl is simply stunning and typifies only the finest of Popov's wares. Please ENJOY
