In December 1921, not long before he left Russia, in Berlin, Kandinsky created several designs for the State (Imperial until 1917) Porcelain Factory in Petrograd. The novelty of nonobjective decor quickly attracted the attention of porcelain enterprises. In the first post-revolutionary years, many of them were searching for decor that resonated with the radical changes in the life of the country. The teacup belonging to the Russian Museum was painted at the Dmitrov (Gardner until 1917) Factory. Kandinsky was a designer who designed right up the smallest details, and expressively correlated his drawings to the hemispherical shapes of the objects; the red-orange rims along the edge of the vessels restrain the beautiful flying objects.
