In very good condition. The cup shows one tiny chip on its side, and minimal wear to the golden bands. The saucer has a minuscule crack to the inside of the lip, not reaching to the outer surface, and a few tiny scuffs and scratches to the orange field. Some of them are visible only when tilting the saucer to reflect a bright light.

Founded by a Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers in 1954, the Yuzhnouralsk Factory was planned with capacity for twelve million pieces annually. Construction began in 1961, the first product came off the line in 1963. After a major reconstruction in 1975, the factory increased production output to 27 million items per year, and continued production through the early post-Soviet years under the new brand name "The Urals Porcelain". Its production participated in zonal and international exhibitions, and even took the gold medal at the 2002 Fourth Moscow International Exhibition "Porcelain. Ceramics. Glass."

And yet, in 2008 the factory was closed.
