PORCELAIN EASTER EGG WITH HAND-PAINTED BLOSSOMING APPLE ORCHARD RUSSIA, LATE 19TH CENTURY (C. 1890–1900)

PORCELAIN EASTER EGG WITH HAND-PAINTED BLOSSOMING APPLE ORCHARD RUSSIA, LATE 19TH CENTURY (C. 1890–1900)

A rare porcelain Easter egg created in Russia at the end of the 19th century, presumably in the workshops of the Imperial Porcelain Factory in Saint Petersburg. The surface is covered with a typical pastel green glaze of the period, featuring a delicate hand-painted design of blossoming apple branches — white and pink-purple petals, yellow stamens, and lush green leaves. The composition is executed in a free painterly manner, inspired by Japonism and Impressionism, characteristic of IPFs decorative approaches in the 1890s.Its oval shape, refined porcelain quality, and exquisite level of painterly detail make this piece representative of the artistic trends influenced by international exhibitions. A stylistically and chromatically similar example is published in:Tamara Kudriavtseva & Harold Whitbeck, Russian Imperial Porcelain Easter Eggs (London: Merrell, 2001), Nos. 203–212, pp. 255–259.Dimensions: Height: 11 cm, Width: 7 cm, Depth: 7 cmCondition: Good, no chips or restorations; minor signs of ageProvenance: Private collection
