An antique Russian porcelain
dinner plate of unknown origin. Apparently from an earlier unpublished
service. The border is decorated with a transfer printed cipher of
Czarevich Alexei (the son of Nicholas II) in Old Slavonic style. Almost
certainly by the Imperial porcelain factory (no factory marks), circa
1914.
Diameter 9 15/16 in. (25,3 cm)
Condition: moderate overall wear, some paint loss on rim.
