<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 8579410, member: 78949&quot;]Hi guys, sorry for being late, a hard working day it was!</p><p>The script on TS piece (sugar bowl,, I guess) is Russian indeed, it says:</p><p>Avt. (avtor- author) Aldoshina - the name of the designer</p><p>Isp. (ispolnitel-maker) Melnik - maker&#039;s name</p><p><br /></p><p>The script on don-art.ru says that they make pieces upon request for approx. 1075 rubles. They work on clients pre-order and the exact price and deadline for completing&nbsp; the order should be discussed with the management.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall it is a modern piece made (maybe upon request) by these two people Aldoshina and Melnik. It is Aldoshina Lyudmila Vassilevna, a woman, the author designer of the series of pottery.</p><p>The piece is a family sugar bowl, of the series &quot;fruits&quot;</p><p>The script in the site reads:</p><p>В интернет-магазине «Донские сувениры» можете купить сахарница Семейная (вар. Фрукты). Товар выполнен из керамики, ручная роспись. Произведено в России.</p><p>This is the online shop &quot;Donskie (the Don&#039;s)souvenirs&quot;, where this family sugar&nbsp; bowl (variant Fruits) can be bought. The bowl is made of ceramics and is hand painted. Made in Russia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then the details of the bowl are given - the brand is&nbsp; Semikarakorskaya ceramics (whatever it is), material is faience. Also the dimensions are given, volume and weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found that Semikarakorskaya ceramics is a brand from Rostov on the Don (Ростов на Дону), Russia. It is a relatively new style, invented in 1970s, it resembles the&nbsp; Russian folk traditions, and is hand painted and also applies cutting technique (??). It is similar to Gzhel ceramics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Semikarakorsk is a historical town 137 km northeast of Rostov. There are workshops for Semikarakorskaya ceramics located there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don is the river Don, &quot;Donskie&quot; means&nbsp; &quot;of the Don&quot;, I.e. from a place along the Don river,&nbsp; like Don&#039;s cossaks (Донские казаки).</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also the CV of Aldoshina, artist designer of the workshop. If interested, I can translate a summary of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If TS has more questions or needs additional info,&nbsp; I will try to find it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
