It was the first porcelain company in Russia and the third in all of Europe. This is where the talented Russian scientist Dmitry Vinogradov (1720-1758) discovered the secret of making ''white gold.'' He was the first in the history of ceramics who made a scientific description of porcelain production. The Russian porcelain by Vinogradov had qualities similar to Meissen porcelain. One of the Lomonosov Factory lines of production is figurines. Please visit other pages of our website for more gift ideas and collectible items.
