Emperor Nicholas I commissioned the Golden Service in 1828 for the use of his Mother, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, at Pavlovsk and Gatchina Palaces. Most pieces from this service, like these plates, are unmarked, suggesting they were painted on the typically unmarked whiteware of the period of Alexander I (1801-1825).
