Product Description
Baranovka "Dancer" ("Плясунья"). Circa 1960. Hand painted, gilding, cobalt. A popular vintage piece whose origin goes back some 75 years in the Baranovka Factory. 3½' in height. Made for the domestic market, marked 2-C in green. About fine with some indications of age, no cracks or chips. 1 only.
The Baranovka (or Baranówka) Porcelain Manufactory was founded by Mikhail Mezer in 1801 in Volynia, or Volhynia (then in Poland, and later annexed by Russia, thus an imperial factory). Baranówka today is located in Ukraine and is known as Baranivka; the factory either was dissolved in 2013, or it still exists and produces tablewares as well as decorative objects (both could be true, or not, according to AI). It has an interesting history, to say the least.
