Fans of Dulev porcelain easily recognize it by the catchy pattern of "agashka" - a purple rose with large rounded petals, made with large strokes. This style of painting borrowed from Gzhel masters. Such a gentle and touching service was not a sin to boast in front of guests!
Of course, other techniques were used at the factory. For example, decole - the translation of the image on dishes through a stencil. It is worth mentioning another famous image on the dishes of Dulev production - delicate lilac. Such dining sets of the 1960s are considered legendary and highly valued by collectors.
A classic example of LFZ products, which foreign tourists were happy to buy in St. Petersburg - a tea service with a cobalt cage. It was sold in the company stores of the plant "Imperial porcelain", located on Nevsky and Vladimirsky Prospects.

Soviet women did not like the soul in the German sets “Madonna”, produced at the factory of Oscar Schlegelmilch. The dishes, which were produced in the factories of the GDR in the 1950s-1970s, pleased the eye with their elegance.

Instagram says table porcelain has lost its purpose. He clutters buffets, "fears" dishwashers and does not tolerate microwaves because of gilding. Many mercilessly sell grandmother's sets, hand over to commissions and replace with heat circles tiny coffee cups for two sips, because it is much more practical.
But if suddenly you want to taste the refined magic of being “here and now”, take pleasure by the tail. Look into the sideboard or closet - and what if there was an unpacked GDR-ovo set with those cute cups of fine porcelain?
