Biography
Aleksandra Vasilievna Shchekatikhina-Pototskaya (Russian: Александра Васильевна Щекатихина-Потоцкая; 20 May [O.S. 8 May] 1892 - 1967) (née Shchekatikhina) was a Russian porcelain artist, illustrator, painter, and theatre set designer.
The Russian State Museum has described her as one of the most impressive Russian porcelain artists of the first half of the 20th Century.
Her works were produced in the Soviet Union, France, and Egypt. She was particularly inspired by Russian folklore and icons, and her style is recognised for its bright colours, and placing great emphasis on costume. She was influenced by Orthodox icons, and her ceramic painting shows a lack of perspective.
Shchekatikhina was a member of the World of Art and the artists' section of the Union of Russian Art Workers in France.
