<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 9424767, member: 78949&quot;]Thanks, Komo!</p><p>This is a hand maid item ( 1st photo), 1st grade, the maker is Gzhel elektro, Gzhel is a folk ethnic crafts chain of workshops or factories located near Moscow in and around the village of Gzhel, and also the style is called Gzhel. The red triangle with 1C is the grade mark. The oval cartouche inside says Gzhel elektro, and above it is inscribed &quot;hand made&quot;. In blue it is written the Cyrillic letter &quot;I&#039; - И.</p><p>On the second photo only the Cyrillic letter CH - Ч is written in blue. Maybe these are the initials of the person&#039;s who made the items.</p><p>Info about Gzhel in English</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzhel&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiOjsfNmKD-AhUESvEDHX6wCaQQmhN6BAgNEAI&amp;usg=AOvVaw0lzIQySFPPhh0hvBxhIvwF" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzhel&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiOjsfNmKD-AhUESvEDHX6wCaQQmhN6BAgNEAI&amp;usg=AOvVaw0lzIQySFPPhh0hvBxhIvwF" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzhel&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiOjsfNmKD-AhUESvEDHX6wCaQQmhN6BAgNEAI&amp;usg=AOvVaw0lzIQySFPPhh0hvBxhIvwF</a></p><p>&quot;Gzhel elektro&#039;&quot; inscription&nbsp; means that the item was made in a factory&nbsp; which specialises in porcelain items, used as insulators in the&nbsp; electrical grid. But apparently they made also household porcelain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit, this plant started making household porcelain after 1984 ( it is discussed in a Russian forum where catalogue entries and other evidence are presented)&nbsp; So it can be dated from 1984 till now. After 1991 the items made for export, have been marked also in Latin. This means that this item under question was either for the Russian market only, or it was made in the period&nbsp; 1984-1991.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
