The porcelain production processes improved scientifically during the reign of Catherine the Great. The factory still followed the legacy left by Vinogradov. Some of the improvements include new clays used in porcelain mass. The factory also built a mill to facilitate the pounding process and enable more production. When the factory hired a European master Regensburg, the proportions of the porcelain paste changed to become more like Chinese porcelain. The baking processes have not changed much from Vinogradov techniques. However, a bronze department was added to the factory to implement metalwork into porcelain items.

During Catherine the Great period the factory followed two directions of production commercial and high end porcelain. The former often lacked the quality of the later. Fortunately, the Factory had a stable demand from the Royal Court. This allowed the Factory to focus on producing high end porcelain with true artistic value. The style of the high end porcelain reflected the trends of European decorative art. This tendency can be explained by overall acceptance of European Art in Russia and by the fact that most of the artists at the factory were invited from Western Europe.

It is interesting to note that Catherine the Great encouraged the factory to develop an original and unique style of art. It became a contemporary trend latter imitated by other porcelain manufactures to depict various social group representatives in sculpture or in paint. Also, many dinner sets and sculpture portrayed significant events happening in the country. For example, a famous Arabesque dinner set included sculptures such as "Crimea under Catherine II" or "Georgia under Catherine II". Others items showed Catherine signing important governmental papers. At this time Rachette a European artists found recognition by making the Arabesque set. Rachette also created a series of ethnographical sculptures that depicted various ethnicities that lived in Russia at the time. Lastly, Vases became an important segment of Imperial Porcelain Factory. They were made in various shaped and sizes. They were completely different from the traditional English vases.

Overall, Catherine not only helped the factory gain back its financial stability, she also encouraged artistic growth within the decorative art in Russia. As the production processes and the quality of the porcelain improved, the artists were able to create true masterpieces of porcelain art. In the beginning part of Catherine's reign, the factory followed the general trends of the Eupopean decorative art. However, in the second half of the reign, artists added unique and original features to the porcelain art pieces.

Imperial Knowledge: Russian Literature and Colonialism $192.86 Readers have long recognized that Western literature reflects the social, political, and cultural structures that favored colonial masters and their point of view. In both popular and scholarly usage, colonies are territories whose conquest requires travel overseas. Because Russias contiguous colonies have generally been viewed as gradual and legitimate enlargements of Russian territory and ethnicity, Russian literature has escaped the scrutiny given to Western literary works. This volume argues that Russias acts of territorial expansion are a form of colonization, and it employs postcolonial theory to explore Russian literature and the power structures reflected in it. The volume initially overviews issues of nationalism and imperialism and the failure of literary critics to treat Russia as a colonial power. It then places Russian literature within the context of postcolonial theory and discourse. It examines the rhetorical techniques that enabled Pushkin and Lermontov to create a repertoire of colonialist perceptions and stereotypes; it argues that Tolstoys War and Peace provided Russian culture with its first and arguably most magnificent expression of national selfconfidence; and it analyzes the imperial habits of Russian culture manifested in the novels and stories of Anatolii Rybakov and Valentin Rasputin. The book additionally looks at Solzhenitsyns Cancer Ward; various works of nonfiction, including history textbooks; and the efforts of recent writers to undermine Russian imperialism.
