Lomonosov. (USSR / Russia)

My Lomonosov turned around chipmunk was sculpted by I Y Vorobyev. Does anyone know how I can date him as he's completely unmarked? He seems to have longer ears then the current
model


PS Is Russia covered by Europe or do we need a new section?

The fact he is unmarked is not suprising as the inks used are soluable A good wash and they have all gone
A picture might help but identification can be a mine field as the russians wernt that good at documentation plus any is usually in russian
Here are two pieces from the USSR which means before 1991 Russia after
A ruse on the trade of these at there hieght of fashion?? was the removal of the R and the a in Russia (ussr pieces fetched three times the russian ones (playing field has now leveled and there is not that much differance) ) then claim the R in USSR had just lost its squiggley bit

I would like to offer my thoughts. USSR means Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Ukraine was one such Soviet Socialist Republic. This item does not come from Russia at all and explains why your SSR does not have a "U". The stamp reads Made in Ukrainian SSR with the name of the factory across the centre. It most likely comes from the Kiev Experimental Ceramic-art Factory which would explain why yours and mine, do not bear the Lomonosov mark, rather the script Korosm___.


Is Russia in Europe? Part of Russia is in Europe, part is in Asia. The part where Porcelain comes from is in Europe. Ukraine is in Europe - next to Poland. However, It might be an idea to create a sub-thread for former Soviet/Socialist countries and their porcelain production.

I may have missed some threads so apologies if I am jumping into a discussion 1/2 way through.

Very interesting information and the girls are lovely

This is the Lomonosov backstamp from Soviet period (1922 - 1991). Lomonosov predates the formation of the Soviet Union and survives its dissolution.

Its about 3 inches high...and has holes in its chest...pepper shaker ?

I believe it's Lomonosov porcelain. A rooster or peacock.

Definitely Lomonosov

2 on ebay from the USA...SALT/PEPPER SHAKERS

............ and not a grouse, rooster or peacock but a turkey!

I guess we can say that it was made before 26th December 1991 and the 3 Russian letters above Made in USSR are LFS for "Leningradskij Faforowyj Savod" or Leningrad porcelain factory.

Do you know what ...it is a Turkey ?? Thank you

Firstly, to clarify that Lomonosov was previously the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St Petersburg.

Secondly, to show you a Soviet-era baby panda. I remember reading somewhere that the Lomonosov animals used to be sold through the shop at London Zoo.

Carrot-eating rabbit, 12.5cm high. Red Lomonosov mark with ""MADE IN USSR"

A model of a bear cub, with the earlier USSR mark.
The marks are ink-stamped and can easily be rubbed off, hence unscrupulous
dealers would partially rub away a later RUSSIA mark, leaving USSI, making it
more desirable to collectors.

I would have read that as LFZ - a for "zavod" = factory.
English alphabet "S" usually transliterates to Cyrillic "C".
