The 17th Arkhangelsk infantry regiment were among the oldest regiments of the Russian army (formed in 1700). For more than two centuries, he has not missed any significant military campaign, and in 1864, when finally determined structure type infantry units of the Russian army, was the first of his 5th infantry division. From 1848 until the end of the old army regiment had the patronage of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich, brother of the future Emperor Alexander III. In the story he came not as a statesman or military leader, but as a patron of the arts, brought together a valuable collection of paintings that still adorn the Vladimir Palace in St. Petersburg, on the corner of Palace embankment and the Millionnaya street (in 1920, this building houses the House of scientists). It is not known how often the great Prince, a great gentleman and a sybarite, attended a modest army sponsored the regiment in the Kiev military district. However, it is possible to assert with confidence that his pocket was paid for making new dishes for officers ' meetings, this practice was the norm.

Flower decor – red, applied to the color shelf. Such ad hoc monogram on the plates belonging to the mentoring parts, occur very rarely. The guarantee of authenticity.
