19th C Russian Gardner Porcelain Ewer
We are selling this brightly decorated 19th Century Russian Gardner porcelain water jug / ewer. It is decorated with deep blue flowers and foilage with burnt orange highlights and gilding to neck, rim and handle. Underneath impressed marks TK IV and two others (as shown in picture).
Measuring 9 inches in height with body width being 6 inches. In good condition for age and with just wear to gilding as you would expect to find on a piece of this age.
Founded at Verbilki, near Moscow, by the Englishman Francis Gardner in 1766, and known for its hard paste porcelains, the Gardner factory served as important competition for the Imperial Porcelain Factory, spurring artists at both institutions to produce more complicated wares in terms of both form and decoration. One of two porcelain works in Russia during the 18th century, The factory was situated in the Gjelsk region where local clay, which proved suitable for porcelain, could be used. Gardner started with a German manager called Gattenberg, who later joined the Imperial Factory, and he employed a well-known German painter, Kestner. But these and other foreigners taught many Russian craftsmen, principally serfs, who gradually replaced them, as soon as they had mastered the various techniques so that the number of foreigners employed in key positions steadily diminished in course of time.
