Porcelain factories in Dulevo and Gzhel like no other could amazingly accurately depict minuteness compositions and colorfully paint figures. No wonder they are still considered a sample of the smallest elaboration of lines, and the fabulous characters of Gzhel masters are still the standard of artistic painting.

Porcelain figurines For me personally, this is a memory of the beautiful past, of the youth of my grandmother and mother, of a time where everything was clear and understandable, where they knew how to work for glory and believed in good.
