Exhibition "Siberian Porcelain: From the Perevalov Brothers' Factory to the Khaitinsky Plant"

About exhibition

The exhibition is dedicated to the 155th anniversary of the Khaitinsky Porcelain Plant and includes more than 200 works of decorative and applied art created by artists and sculptors of the I. D. Perevalov factory and the Khaitinsky plant in the 19th–20th centuries. In 1869 the factory was founded by brothers F. and D. Perevalov. The tableware produced there was noted for its extraordinary whiteness and thinness of the body and was in great demand. In 1920 the factory was nationalized; from that time the products bore the mark "Sibfarfor." Since 1954 the enterprise has been called the "Khaitinsky Porcelain Plant." The heyday of Soviet porcelain fell on the 1960s–1970s. At that time artists and sculptors such as D. Vorontsova, R. Aleshina, S. Fedyaev, V. Slastnoy, and S. and V. Lozinskie worked at the Khaitinsky plant. In the 1980s L. Gening, O. Vakhrusheva, L. Rychagova, and O. Kopenkina joined the plant. The artist-made pieces of those years were united by a single mark — the ermine.
