Due to its size and workmanship, this vase is unique among items produced by private porcelain factories in Russia. It is decorated with a miniature of View of the Admiralty and the Boulevard from Palace Square (1820s), a lithograph by an unknown artist. The mythological compositions Venus with Mirror and Muse Erato and Cupid with Burning Flame, as well as landscapes, round out the painted décor.
