Lot Essay

Founded in 1825, the Stroganov School promoted the applied arts in Russia. The school was particularly famous for its ceramics, as well as the enamel workshop, which opened in 1902. As part of the educational process, students were encouraged to create their own designs in addition to copying well-known artworks. The extraordinary quality of works by the Stroganov School quickly gained international recognition at exhibitions in Vienna, Paris, and other European cities.
