Exhibition

Baranivka Imperial Porcelain 1830-1900

Baranivka Porcelain Museum

The past exhibition presented the highest achievements of the Baranivka factory in the pre-revolutionary period — the time when the Mezer brothers' enterprise received the right to supply table porcelain to the imperial court and the largest aristocratic families. The exposition showed complete tea services with gilding and cobalt painting, coffee sets in the neoclassical style, dinner sets with Empire-style decor, porcelain vases with botanical drawings, sculptural portraits of members of the Branicki and Potocki families. A separate section compared Baranivka porcelain with the production of the Meissen manufactory and the Sèvres factory, indicating technological parity with Western European producers of the mid-19th century.
