Details
In the late 19th century the Imperial porcelain factory practised the underglaze painting technique. Statuettes designed by K.A.Somov became very precious in the pre-revolution period. The stamp features "A Lady in a Mask" sculpture designed by K.A.Somov in 1910 and kept in the Moscow State Historical Museum.
