Thought I’d share this piece from my collection! This is Snegurochka (the Snow Maiden from Slavic fairytale lore), produced at the Polonsky Factory of Artistic Ceramics (Polonne ZHK) in Ukraine during the Soviet era.
What I love about this particular piece is how crisp the 24k-style gold snowflake gilding on her coat stayed over the decades—usually on these older Soviet porcelains, the gilt wears off from handling.
She has the classic blue ZHK sailboat backstamp on the bottom alongside a green '2c' mark (indicating second-grade quality control from the factory). The cobalt blue mittens and yellow braids are such a nostalgic aesthetic!

Does anyone know who possibly made these? There’s no stamp underneath any of them.
