Lot Essay

Stella Vengerovskaya (1892-1961) worked for the State Porcelain Factory for only a short period of time between 1923 and 1926. Her style was greatly influenced by another celebrated artist, Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya, and was inspired by fairy tales and Slavic folklore.

Vengerovskaya was born in Pavlograd and her designs often incorporated motifs from her native Ukraine. A number of works from her Ukrainian series are part of the Hermitage Museum collection.
