Stands 10 ¾" tall, the plinth is 4 ¾" square, weighs a little over 2 lbs.. Maker marked in an unusual fashion: instead of the logo on the bottom, there is an inscription raised in the mass on the left side of the plinth, reading Городницкий фарфор завод треста "укр фарфор фаянс" which translates as Gorodnitsa porcelain factory of the trust "Ukr[ainian] porcelain faience".

This is a very rare limited edition specially made for Stalin's 70th birthday, and a fantastic find in this impeccable condition. There is no wear or damage of any kind visible to the naked eye.

Gorodnitsa Porcelain Factory was founded in 1807 in the village of this name in Ukraine. Its first product lines were mostly household faience items. In 1923-24 it merged into the All-Ukrainian Trust "Porcelain, Faience, Glass". After WW2, the factory acquires new master sculptors. They develop models in various "themes", such as happy childhood, fairy tale characters, animals, busts of famous people of arts and music, as well as political leaders. In mid-1960s Gorodnitsa was one of the largest producers of artistic porcelain in the USSR, won several prizes at international fairs. Unfortunately, it all ended in 2012 when the factory announced bankruptcy and was closed.
