Soviet porcelain lion cub, Verbilki, 70s-80s

Magnificent small feline with expressive eyes, made of porcelain, a product of Soviet animal art from the 70s-80s, a period when many workshops, including the Verbilki factory (the former Gardner factory, near Moscow), manufactured these decorative pieces intended to adorn display cases and refined interiors.

The glossy enameled surface reveals the warm nuances of the coat, from golden brown to ivory touches, hand-applied according to a craftsmanship characteristic of Russian workshops: soft modeling, expressive faces, and meticulous finishes.

The incised "V" mark under the base likely links this piece to the Verbilki factory, whose production, parallel to that of LFZ (Lomonosov), offered figurines with a realistic charm that have now become collector's items.

A decorative piece steeped in history, bearing witness to unique craftsmanship, evoking both Soviet nostalgia and the timeless elegance of animal porcelain.
