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.

When my sister showed our statuette based on Cinderella to an antique dealer, I said: The statue is dear to me as a memory of my grandmother. Trading is inappropriate. To which the antiquarian withdrew unsalted breadbasket. There are things that don't sell, what do you think?
