Maker marked on the bottom. This version of the Polonnoe Porcelain Factory trademark was in use from 1956 to 1973 (fig. # 567 in Volume One of Marks on Soviet Porcelain, Faience, and Majolica, 1917-1991 by Nasonova et al).

In very good to excellent condition, a chip to the high point of the girl's purse and a tiny scuff to the glaze at the tip of the flag being the only two items of post-production wear visible to the naked eye.

Polonnoe ("Polonne" in Ukrainian) is a city in the Khmelnitsky region in western Ukraine. The history of the city dates back to the year 998. The porcelain manufacturing is somewhat younger, dating back only to the 1880s. Economic difficulties of early post-Soviet years forced the factory into bankruptcy in 2011. Their legacy is alive thanks to the Khmelnitsky Regional Museum.
