Description:
The exterior of each fig-shaped bowl enameled with varicolored scrolling flowers on stippled gilt ground, with gilt interior, the twisted stem with baluster finial enameled with geometric motifs. By the Third Artel, St. Petersburg, 1908- 17, with 88 silver standard 5 in. (12.7 cm.) long As cooperative workshops comprised of highly-skilled goldsmiths, jewelers, silversmiths and enamellers, artels were formed in Russia towards the end of the 19th century to compete with the larger houses such as Khlebnikov, Ovchinnikov and Sazikov. Like Gratchev, the Third Artel was based in St. Petersburg and known to produce Old Russian style cloisonné enamels, although translucent enamels and gold items were more prevalent. Active until the Revolution, the Third Artel made kovshi (boat-shaped vessels), picture frames, cigarette-cases, snuffboxes, pin trays, miniature easter eggs and even clocks. Its stamp sometimes appears alongside a Fabergé hallmark, indicating a business relationship existed between the two enterprises.
