P. Ovchinnikova synovia” under base; held in original case. Plique-à-jour enamel – one of the most elegant and difficult enamelling techniques – became very popular in Russia towards the end of the 19th century. Fine wares and decorative objects executed in plique-à-jour enamel are considered to be the pinnacle of craftsmanship as only a handful of jewellers in the world could work in this technique, amongst them, Pavel Ovchinnikov. The report from the All-Russia Exhibition held in Moscow in 1882, credited Pavel Ovchinnikov with the revival of this long-lost technique. The master craftsmen from his firm were among the first to start producing objects with plique-à-jour enamel. The production of plique-à-jour is technically very challenging and time-consuming, even the top masters would need to carry out several experiments before achieving the desired effect and colour. The enameller had to be not only an accomplished painter, but also a superb technician. Very often due to technical issues, plique-à-jour enamel objects were destroyed at the very last stages of production, which makes them even more rare and desirable. Although many shapes of types of objects could be executed in plique-à-jour, the Russian masters favoured the traditional forms of the kovsh, beakers, spoons and boxes etc. Plique-à-jour enamels have always been very expensive and were comparable to gems. Notwithstanding their apparent fragility, the enamel objects (which were fired at high temperatures) will keep their rich and vibrant colours for centuries. The variety of forms, richness of colours together with the excellent condition of the set, which has been kept in its original presentation box, make this a unique and rare example of the craftsmanship of the enamellers working for Pavel Ovchinnikov.
