Important Russian Porcelain Vase
Imperial Porcelain Manufactory, St. Petersburg, period of Alexander III, dated 1888
Baluster form, with elongated neck, painted throughout with flowers and leaves on a blue ground, with flaring rim decorated with gilt and white floral motifs, with underglaze green manufactory mark and date, restored. Height 32 inches (81.3 cm).
Princess Dagmar Louise Elisabeth of Denmark (1890-1961).
By descent to her son, Christian Ludwig Castenskjold (1926-2024).
A gift from the above to the present owner.
The present vase was a gift from Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia (née Princess Marie Sophie Frederikke Dagmar of Denmark; 1847-1828) to her niece, Princess Dagmar Louise Elisabeth of Denmark. The Princess was the youngest child and fourth daughter of King Frederick VIII of Denmark (1843-1912) and his wife, Princess Louise of Sweden and Norway (1851-1926). The production date of the vase, 1888, pre-dates the birth of Princess Dagmar, so the exact date the vase was presented is unknown. However, the vase eventually descended in the family to Princess Dagmar's son, Christian Ludwig Castenskjold, who gifted it to the present owner.
Given the Empress’s familial ties, the Russian imperial family paid regular visits to the Danish royal family. The Empress and Princess Dagmar can be seen together in a photograph during one such visit circa 1903. Maria Feodorovna is seated in the second row, second from the left. Princess Dagmar is seated in the first row at the far left.
Emperor Alexander III (1845-1894), a connoisseur and collector of works of art, took an interest in the work of the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory and porcelain objects were often chosen as royal gifts. For example, another vase by the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory, dated 1891 and comparable in form to the present lot, was given by Alexander III in August 1893 to Phillip Skou, the director of the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory. The vase was later sold, Uppsala Auktions, Sweden, December 1, 2006, lot 1335.
