Vladimir Mayakovskiy Commemorative porcelain Plate, Budy Faience Factory, 1950-1967, features 1920s portrait of the Futurist poet.
9 1/2" (24cm). Holes on the reverse for insertion of a thread or a fine wire for hanging on the wall.
Very good to excellent condition. Two small incidental "catches" in the transfer printed image, one in his hairline and the other near his right lapel. A few few minor stains to the surface, none of which would be noticeable if the plate was hanging on a wall or standing on a plate stand on top of a bookshelf.
Mayakovskiy (1893 - 1930), born in Georgia to Cossack/Ukrainian parents, was a multi-talented revolutionary poet who also designed posters and produced films. Author of the famous line that became a longstanding Soviet motto: "Lenin lives, lived and will live!" Disillusioned with life and the Soviet state, he committed suicide at 37.
