The design is their typical Russian folk theme design imitating criss cross embroidery which is also sometimes referred to as pan-Slavic style circa early 1900s St Petersburg

Ivan Galnbek (1855-1934), an architect and art historian who provided occasional designs for the firm of Fabergé, designed many of the historically inspired forms of the cups, bowls, and kovshi in this service. Although best known for the delightful bear- and horse-shaped handles on Kornilov porcelains, Galnbek designed numerous forms for the manufactory, many of which demonstrate his vast knowledge of Russian art and often drew on the forms of traditional Russian metalwork.On Kornilov Brothers porcelain and Ivan Galnbek, see T.
