How do you spot fake Lomonosov porcelain?

1 Answer
How do you spot fake Lomonosov porcelain?
To spot fake Lomonosov porcelain, the manufacturer recommends using the maker's mark. Authentic vintage pieces will feature an initial logo and the words "Hand Decorated 1744 St. Petersburg Russia," while items produced in 2006 and onwards show a double-headed eagle logo with the words "Imperial Porcelain 1744 St. Petersburg." You can find images of both markings on the official Lomonosov website and compare them to the markings on your piece to identify inconsistencies. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can also be of assistance with authenticating your porcelain. Shop a range of Lomonosov porcelain on 1stDibs.
