A Soviet porcelain tea set after a design by Mikhail Moh made at the Lomonosov factory in Leningrad, c.1930. Marked with a blue hammer and sickle, it sold at £100,000 at Sotheby’s.
London’s Russian week of auctions put in a consistent performance last week with the sales at four salerooms generating a combined £37.5m with fees. This compared to £39.2m for the equivalent series last year and the £35.8m raised at the June series.
