DINNER PLATE FROM THE IMPERIAL YACHT STANDART [NICHOLAS II (1868-1918, Tsar of Russia from 1894, Assassinated after the Revolution)]

Fine white china dinner plate made by the Imperial Porcelain factory, in St Petersburg, decorated with the Russian eagle emblem of Nicholas II and marked underneath, the rims heightened in gilt, and the crest black emblazoned with gold, blue and red, 9 inches diameter, St Petersburg, circa

It is nice to find plates that were used on the Standart in the days when the Imperial family was happy before their tragic end. This china was made for the Imperial family at the time of the coronation in 1896 and replacements were manufactured until 1914. Although a considerable quantity was produced over the years a survey after World War I found only about 1000 pieces had survived. The service was used at the Winter Palace.
