The Imperial Porcelain Factory started to produce large vases for imperial presentations and for the decoration of palaces during the reign of Emperor Alexander I in 1801-1825. The tradition was then continued by Emperor Nicholas I (r. 1825-1855), who commissioned and awarded a remarkable number of vases. Under his patronage, the production of the factory reached its apogee, and works from this period are the finest examples of palace and presentation vases produced.

The present vases were produced by the Imperial Porcelain Factory in 1829, at the beginning of the reign of Nicholas I, and retain many neo-classical influences from the reign of his predecessor, Alexander I. The form and decoration are closely related to a comparable vase dated 1828 from the Peterhof museum, see N.B. von Wolf (ed. V.V. Znamenov), Imperatorskii farforovyi zavod, 1744-1904, St Petersburg, 2008, p. 426.
