It was the first porcelain company in Russia and the third in all of Europe. This is where the talented Russian scientist Dmitry Vinogradov (1720-1758) discovered the secret of making ''white gold.'' He was the first in the history of ceramics who made a scientific description of porcelain production. The Russian porcelain by Vinogradov had qualities similar to Meissen porcelain. One of the Lomonosov Factory lines of production is figurines.
