Suvorov Military School of MVD Troops Mess Hall Porcelain Dinner Bowl, Pervomaisk, 9 1/4" in diameter, 2 ½" deep, circa 1946 - 1950.
Porcelain, 9 1/4" diameter, 2 ½" deep, intended for soups and stews. Solid construction to withstand mess hall or cafeteria use (but somewhat lighter weight than similar plates used in other armies). On the rim, a red star appears with a panoply of weapons fanned out beneath it. The scrolls read "Suvorov Military School". Below that appear the words "MVD Troop USSR". The bottom has a large maker mark from Pervomaisk Porcelain Factory
Very good overall condition with only a very few scratches on the interior. No cracks or chips, still shows most of its original gloss.
Two of the Suvorov Military [Boarding] Schools were dedicated to teaching the sons of NKVD personnel; this plate was used at one of the two schools.
/trademark is #556 in Volume One of "Marks on Soviet Porcelain, Faience, and Majolica, 1917-1991"./
