[QUOTE="SUPERJUNK1970, post: 4329664, member: 17134"]What registry NUMBER? The story is long, but here is the short version. Plates were extras from a COMISSION of catherine THE GREAT to the gardner porcelain COMPANY, an English company that was allowed to establish in russia and got ALOT of COMISSION from the imperial family during catherine THE GREAT rule, later the firm got nationalized by Russia and the name changed. They made the cobalt blue SERVICE without silver And after made extras FOR the family to replace broken ones. Around the same time the Covington brothers factory burned , the imperial family was killed and all their possessions looted AND the extra porcelain stored FOR family was sold in lots because no longer needed. My assumption is that in collaboration or partnership with the english co. The Covington brothers got that porcelain to keep BUSINESS going while factory got rebuilt. All they did was stamp over the under glaze marks. I just want to know if the under glaze Mark's are correct, for the commission of the imperial family., and being extras are they worth more or less because of it.[/QUOTE]
