Russian Imperial glass factory specialised in the production of artistic works commissioned by the Imperial court and private customers. Part of the produce was sold in a special shop on Nevsky Prospekt and then in the Italian Shop. The factory was transferred to the village of Nazyu near Schlsselburg (1774). Awarded to Prince Grigory Potemkin (1777), who transferred the factory to the village of Ozerki near St Petersburg. Taken over by the crown and renamed the Imperial Glass Factory (1792). The factory at this stage employed 234 craftsmen. Like the Imperial Porcelain Factory, the Imperial Glass Factory worked solely for the court. Its produce was diverse crystal services, decorative vases and table ornaments designed by such famous architects as Andrei Voronikhin, Carlo Rossi and Alexander Brullov. It also began to manufacture souvenirs, producing glasses, goblets and tankards with engraved views of St Petersburg based on popular lithographs (1830s). Amalgamated with the Imperial Porcelain Factory in 1890. Russian glass is very rare: Because of the numerous wars that occurred on the territory of Russia. Also Bolsheviks didn't like beautiful decorative items created in imperial Russia and crashed them every time they had opportunity. On the other hand, Russian tradition welcomes to break some glass as it brings happiness. So not much glass items survived in these hard-severe circumstances.
