On the Beach, porcelain figurine by the Leningrad
Lomonosov Porcelain Factory (LFZ), 1950s. Nice
early example of the "happy childhood" theme, this figurine
portrays a toddler boy immersed in studying a shell he just
found in the sand. Shows underglaze LFZ maker mark of 1950s
model. In excellent condition.
"Loves Me or Loves Me Not?" (Girl Deviating on a
Flower), Kiev Experimental Ceramic Factory, 1976-1991. A
pretty maiden in traditional dress checking her fortune by a
time-tested method known to every Russian or Ukrainian girl.
Lovely piece in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and
free on noticeable wear. This piece by the Kiev Factory is far
less common than another statuette on the same subject by the
Polonnoe Porcelain Factory.
Danila the Master Craftsman and His Vase (aka "The
Potter"), large composition in porcelain by the Sysert
Factory, 1968-1977. This very impressive 8" tall figurine can
be a nice display piece in its own right or if desired, serve
as a flower vase or possibly even a candlestick. In excellent
condition.
Bust of Mikhail Kalinin, by the Lomonosovskiy Porcelain Factory in Leningrad (LFZ), circa late 1940s. Very large size, approx. 13" tall likeness of one of the original Bolshivik leaders, a rare survivor of the Stalin's purges and the nominal head of state of the Soviet Union from 1919 to 1946. Original artwork was created by the acclaimed Soviet sculptor Matvei Manizer. An extremely uncommon, high quality piece in very good condition.
