Lomonosov - S.E. Yakovleva - Ewer (2) - Hard-paste porcelain - Classic charm

A particularly decorative duo from the Soviet porcelain tradition: two sculptural pitchers whose bodies are completely formed from relief grape clusters. The deep cobalt blue, the white porcelain, and the richly applied gilding give these pitchers a strikingly luxurious character. This Lomonosov decorative pitcher (often referred to as the Lomonosov Grape Decanter / Pitcher) is a very well-known and cherished vintage collectible. The pitcher is entirely molded in the relief of a full bunch of grapes resting in a white woven basket. The leaves and the spout form the top, and the handle is stylized as a grapevine. Executed in the characteristic deep cobalt blue (Cobalt Blue) combined with white porcelain and finished with rich 22-karat gold accents. The model “Grapes / Гроздь винограда” is attributed to designer S. E. Yakovleva and was manufactured by the Leningrad Porcelain Factory (LFZ / Lomonosov) in Saint Petersburg. The body is plastically modeled with full grapes, complemented by large wine leaves, a braided basket motif around the base, and gold accents along the leaf veins, spout, handle, and edges.

Condition:
Excellent condition. The pitchers are unused and have been very carefully preserved, with only minimal age-related signs. The glaze has a wonderful deep shine and the gilded decoration is particularly well preserved. There is one original stopper included; therefore the pair is intentionally offered as decorative art objects, not as two complete practical carafes.

Due to their generous size and strong three-dimensional relief, they are especially suitable as eye-catchers in a display cabinet, on a console, sideboard, or luxurious tray.

Shipping:
Both objects and the separate stopper are packed separately and very carefully, with extra protection around the spouts, handles, and relief decorations. Tracking shipment.
