Porcelain Hand-Painted Bear Figurine of Mishka, 1980 Moscow Olympics mascot, by LFZ, Lomonosov Porcelain Factory, late 1970s-1980.
Large size standing 10" tall, the bottom of the pedestal is approx. 3 ¼" x 3". Everything about the design of this figurine is very uncommon: the tall pedestal, the floral ornament on it, and especially the bouquet of wild flowers instead of a trophy or another sports-related object.

The model was made by sculptor Eropkina.
