Such decorations were especially valued by Nicholas I, a fan of parades and military uniforms, and continued by his successor Alexander II. Plates were produced in series, with a common theme and design. They vary in color and decoration of the borders: “red,” “turquoise,” “lilac,” and “golden.” The plates were painted by the best artists of the factory: V.D. Elashevsky, M.V. Kryukov, V.N. Midin, A.F. Mironov, V.A. Stoletov, N.A. Yakovlev, O. Volkova, and others.
