Complete Set of 3 Suvorov Military Academy Cadet Marching Band, Polonskiy (Polonnoe) Artistic Ceramics Factory, circa 1960s.

Base measures ¾" x 2" (2 x 5cm), each entire figurine stands approx. 2 ¼" (6 cm) high. No trademark beside the red quality control stamp to the bottom, but the figurines are known to have been made by the Polonnoe Factory in Soviet Ukraine during the 60s.

In excellent condition. Shows none of the usual chips or cracks. The gilding on the tuba, trumpet and timpani, which was applied on top of the glaze, shows minor scuffing. A negligible amount of rubbing on the back of the tuba player's pants should be noted, as well as silver paint around the drummer's feet. None of the wear is r

None of the wear is really detracting from the charm of this perky little ensemble.

Although traditionally thought of as always wearing blue uniforms, we've seen 1960s photos of a Suvorov cadet band in white gimnasterka shirts and black pants. These figurines are a complete set of three similarly sized figures of Suvorov marching band cadets playing different instruments.
