HISTORY: After the Revolution of 1917, the Bolshevik government took control of the Imperial Porcelain Factory. A large number of unpainted plates were discovered and subsequently decorated with propagandist slogans and revolutionary images. The imperial blank plates were often marked with the reigning tsar’s monogram under the base, which prompted the Bolsheviks to cover them with a patch of green or black paint. The artists then treated the porcelain plates as canvases for their new Soviet imagery. Numerous plates were designed with the symbol of the new Soviet government — the hammer and sickle, often accompanied by a propaganda slogan. Rudolf Vilde, Mikhail Adamovich, and Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya were among the most celebrated artists.
