🖼 Imperial Porcelain Factory Museum

Санкт-Петербург, пр. Обуховской Обороны, 151

A Hermitage branch on the grounds of Russia's oldest porcelain factory (since 1744): a historical collection and a brand shop.

The factory was founded in 1744 at the will of Elizabeth Petrovna — Russia's first porcelain production.
The recipe for Russian porcelain was found by Dmitry Vinogradov, Lomonosov's schoolmate at the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy.
The factory's first goods for sale were snuffboxes: in 1751 one was presented to the empress.
In 1837 a sample room was set up at the factory, and by 1845 it had become a museum.
In 1925 the factory was named after Lomonosov — hence the well-known abbreviation LFZ.
Bone china has been made here since 1968.
