In the crystal plaquettes is the author of casting sulfide (we know that such a connection with a crystal casting weight required skills ) . Relief with a portrait of Alexander Nikolaevich worked great , the details drawn silvery touches, professionally modeled plastic face . On a section of the author's signature is preserved sulfide casting - AP Lialin . Portrait of Alexandra Feodorovna , in contrast to the portrait of the Crown Prince , less sophisticated. The quality of crystal, cut character are not typical of the Imperial Glass Factory , and there is reason to expect that the pair plaques are made at one of the best local glass factories - Bakhmeteff near Penza in the village of Saint Nicholas .

The perfect gift
