Description: Russian Legend Unique Set of Bradford Exchange 12 Plates w/ COA & Boxes with Matched ShelfA complete set of 12 Russian Legends Decorative Lacquer Plates, that have never been displayed. They come with their original boxes and all certificates and paperwork included. See pictures for details. Pictures in the listing are of the actual plates, not stock pictures.The 1988 RUSSIAN LEGENDS series of limited edition decorative plates was the first collectors plate series ever produced in Russia. The twelve-plate series depicts famous Russian legends and fairytales. They are patterned after the designs and style found on Russian lacquer boxes from the village of Palekh.The plates were produced with 16-17 layers of ceramic pigments and in 18kt gold on hard fired porcelain. The firing period was limited to 195 days at the historic Vinogradoff Porcelain factory. Distributed for Tianex by the Bradford Exchange, each plate was assigned an individual Bradex number. The plates are 7 1/2" (19cm) in diameter. The reverse side is written in Russian describing the title, story and serial number. Each plate came in a custom fitted box with a parchment-material single page certificate of authenticity in Russian, a three-sheet foldout in Russian and a two-sheet foldout in English. The last document defines the subject, talks about the artists, gives a history of the legend and talks about the production facility. The handouts are specific to each plate.The plates, in order of release, are: 1. Ruslan and Ludmilla - Bradex 60-V25-1.1 Design by Roman Leonidovich Belousov 1988 2.
