A porcelain plate from a military service, Imperial Porcelain Manufactury (Tambour-Major, Tambour et Porte enseigne du bat des Sappeurs de la Garde)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A porcelain plate from a military service, Imperial Porcelain Manufactory, St Petersburg, period of Nicholas I (1825-1855), 1830

the burnished gilt border ciselé with military trophies and double-headed Imperial Eagles, the cavetto finely painted with soldiers one of whom is carrying an Imperial banner,

inscribed on the reverse Tambour-Major, Tambour et Porte enseigne du bat des Sappeurs de la Garde,

with underglaze blue imperial cypher of Nicholas I, signed V. Elashevsky

diameter 24cm; 9½in.

The Lifeguard Sapper Battalion was formed at the end of 1812. Though the battalion wore a uniform much like that of the infantry - white trousers, and white leather carbine and pouch belts - it was classified as jägers, the dragoon regiment which was equivalent to the French army's chasseurs-à-cheval.
