White gold: porcelain figurine "Embroiderer" sold on Violiti
The antique world, as well as other areas of collecting, has its own fashion trends. One of the trends is the collection of porcelain dishes and figurines from the era of the Soviet Union.
Soviet porcelain attracts collectors with its variety, exquisite painting and incredible soulfulness. The artistic, social and ideological components are no less valuable. Porcelain products allow you to feel a bygone era, plunge into history, and sometimes into your own memories. The artists carefully depict in their creations the images and main features characteristic of the time.
In addition, Soviet porcelain is environmentally friendly. Experts believe that modern porcelain is produced from lower quality raw materials. Previously, the clay was purified from mercury and metal impurities, and it was also "cured" for more than 30 years. In addition, in the era of the USSR, dyes based on natural ingredients were used. Now the substances have been replaced by chemical ones.
The final cost of porcelain items is based on a number of factors: age, integrity and the number of pieces produced. Particularly valuable are the so-called "hard-to-maintain" products, namely those with many protruding parts. Chips and scratches can reduce the price, but they will not affect it globally. Indeed, first of all, Soviet porcelain is of interest to collectors for high-quality firing, graceful plastic and jewelry painting technique. The lot sold on Violiti at the end of September meets the above parameters. Therefore, the price was 28 thousand hryvnia.
The "Embroiderer" statuette was created by the artist of the Kiev EKHZ Alexander Dmitrievich Sorokin. The talented master tried to draw the attention of the population to such a refined art form as chinoiserie. But the figurine of the embroiderer brought the author the greatest fame.
Other porcelain items that are rightfully called eternal values can be found in the section Porcelain, ceramics, glass.
