Part of the officers ' life guards Preobrazhensky regiment

The life guards Preobrazhensky regiment as the most honored in the Guard often had to take special guests and different kind of delegation, the why, and had to spend quite a lot of money at the officers ' meeting, including for the equipment of his kitchen utensils and crockery. Regimental crockery of all at all times distinguished elegance. Not an exception and this sauce boat in the Rococo style. Judging by the lack of Golden decoration, he was one of those everyday items, but, despite this, it was quite well preserved. It is made at the Petersburg factory of the Kornilov brothers (perfectly preserved the stamp on the bottom), which for many years supplied the porcelain collection of the Preobrazhensky regiment. Judging by the "Slavic" font abbreviations, and the subject relates to the late 1870s or early 1880s Red finish matches the dash color of the regiment. Minor hairline crack on the spout and a small chip on the base are quite suitable for restoration. The guarantee of authenticity.
