Queen Mary’s (1867–1953) interest in Russian decorative art, no doubt encouraged her to purchase this coffee pot, which, according to a label inside, belonged to Catherine II. The design relates closely to an earlier example made for Empress Anna by Nikolai Dom (active 1714–48) in St Petersburg in 1735.
