This porcelain plate from the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in St. Petersburg commemorates the senior and junior officers of the Finnish Life-Guard Regiment during Nicholas I's reign. Created in 1835, the work exemplifies the Manufactory's tradition of producing ceremonial tableware that celebrated military institutions and imperial authority. The plate likely features detailed uniforms and regalia rendered in the neoclassical style characteristic of Russian porcelain production in the early nineteenth century.
