Religious Themes

A somewhat catchall for decorative plates and religious themes. Items come in, and then, go out. 

A note about the occasional plate that lands here from the plate series "THE LIGHT OF CHRIST" by artist Sergei B. Devyatkin, released as Kholuy Art Studios by the plate popularizer Bradford Exchange. Produced in 1993 and quickly discontinued, thus ensuring a fairly small run. The plates were richly decorated with intense colors on fine porcelain, 

Sergey Borisovich Devyatkin (1961-2005) was born in Kholui. He studied at the Kholui Art College from 1976-1982. He worked on genre painting, mostly fairy tales, and his stand-out talent was his attention to ornamentation. His father, Boris Sergeyevitch, was also an accomplished artist and miniaturist. 

  • Red Square St. Basil the Blessed. Ceramic plate from the series "Best Views of Moscow (Лучие Виды Москвы)" that perhaps was issued in the late 1990s to coincide with the 850th anniversary of Moscow (hence the reference to Yuri Dolgoruky, the founder). For a while, due to the collector plate mania, even Russia produced colorful and decorative plates. Made in Russia.

  • St. Isaac's Cathedral (Исааакиевский собор). An unusual plate offering from the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg, complete with post-2002 blue ЛФЗ backstamp (which was used on production from 2002-2005) and "Hand Decorated 1744 St. Petersburg Russia"" with an additional 1С, which stands for 1st quality. Ironically, there is nothing hand painted about this plate whatsoever, and, due to the sepia monotone, it probably was a poor seller. In any case, it makes for an unusual collector's plate from Russia, and Lomonosov, in particular.
