1890s – 1900s. State Historical
museum, Moscow.
Appears in the vase decor
non-standard plot – branch
persimmons with fruits and leaves.
Analogues to this decor
are currently unknown.
Apparently the item belongs
to small-circulation products
manufactory. When making
vases used by the richest
an arsenal of colored glass
masses in bright contrast
combination, supplemented

green tones, which creates
spectacular scenic
texture.
Picture
persimmon has a well-established
ancient symbolism associated
with the culture of China, which
considered her homeland (one
from the names of persimmons – Chinese
peach), and where she stood for
joy as well as culture
Japan where she was familiar
victory. I wonder what when
in the second half of the 18th century
the plant has been introduced
to Europe, the first country where
they began to cultivate it,
became France.
In decoration
