The Popov factory was bought by the merchant Aleksei Gavrilovich Popov in 1811 from Karl Melli - the former manager of a Gardner factory. The company was shut down in 1875 after several changes of management. Shortly before this, the company had reached its peak and employed 283 people, whose products briefly competed with the Gardner manufactory in Russia. During this brief period, the manufactory's works covered all areas of porcelain production and were strongly orientated towards German and French models. However, the company also developed its very own types of painting, which corresponded to the Russian subjects. The colour palette impressed with its high saturation and lavish gold paintings.
