The plant was the first porcelain factory in Russia and the third in Europe . With the accession of Catherine II (1762 - 1796) factory was reorganized in 1765 and became known as the Imperial Porcelain Factory , to which was given the task - " contented entire Russian porcelain ." Great influence on the activity of Russian porcelain had a talented French sculptor JD Rochet , a guest at the IPF modelmeysterom .

Also, we want to draw your attention to another interesting subject of a similar nature - and saucer with the landscape in the Empire style, made by bateninskom plant in 1814 - 1832 years.

On bateninskom factory produced a wide variety of products , expensive and cheap , but the conventional wisdom utensils for everyday use remained by far much less than the front , which began to collect in the XIX century. Products bateninskogo plant metilas embossed alphabetical names, in which the location of the plant is encrypted and surname of the owner . In the first period of the plant - from the beginning of 1832 to - to put brand S.Z.K.B. (St. Petersburg plant merchant Batenin ) or S.Z.K.B. in a narrow rectangle , and very rarely - the letter B , and S.F.K.B. (St. Petersburg factory merchant Batenin ) . After the death of FS Batenin in 1830, production was taken over by his heirs , and the board of trustees . In this second short period of operation of the plant (1832 - 1838 gg.)

Letters brands bateninskogo porcelain inscribed subtly and gracefully.

A special item of production were cups and gift mugs. They depicted the allegorical and mythological scenes , scenes of World War II in 1812 , portraits of Alexander I, and so on.
