Bazhanov in St. Petersburg. The article is based on field studies of the beginning of the 20th century, as well as on the analysis of archival documents reflecting the activities of the factory. The factors that had an influence at the forms and decorations during this period are considered. The author gives the examples of the new technologies, based on the using of the machines.
