Thanks for posting all these pics Tony,  :clap:
I think your collie might be a borzoi, though.

The red USSR mark is more desirable (as it dates the item to pre-1991) than the modern blue Made in Russia - if you find a red Made in Russia, you have a nice early piece.

good article on the various marks here (http://www.rus-sell.com/article9-Lomonosov+porcelain+marks+and+signs.html).  I have sold some pieces with the domestic quality marks, they are very different, and do iincrease the value of the piece.

Your Samovar has 2nd quality domestic marks TC, according to that link I gave above.  If you like that kind of thing, it is a nice piece!

I love samovars, they fascinate me. I remember my late uncle bringing one back years ago from somewhere behind the Iron Curtain - he was an engineer and used to work & travel a lot in the old Soviet/Eastern European countries. Much more romantic than a Burco boiler huh?  ;D

My Lomonosov turned around chipmunk sculpted by I Y Vorobyev. Any idea how I date him as he's completely unmarked? He does seem to have longer ears then the current model (http://lomonosov-russia.com/cpage/products/details?pid=1318278954&cid=359942865&sessionID=Nen-TYk-bMOcnBHE)

Love the Chipmunk, I've had a few myself.

Your's is not the same chipmunk as the one in that link though!

I could be wrong but I don't think there's anyway to tell the difference unless it has a mark. I think Leni has a book on Russian animals though.

I need four candles to dig my garden up!

Feeling a bit poorly  :sk2: and the rain teeming down, I was just browsing on the internet and remembered this board!  Gosh!  It's a long time since I was here! :o  8:)

Here's my collection of Lomonosov animals.  (Except one is not, I think one fawn - the one sitting - is Verbilki.)  They all have the USSR mark, either red or black, except the hedgehog on the right, who has the 'Made in Russia' mark in red. 

I only collect 'woodland' animals, so the Alsation will have to go!  He was sold to me as a wolf!  :24:  :mad:

Aw sorry you're still under the weather Leni. :hug: Hope you're soon feeling better.

That's a great collection ... what is the black one back left? I can't make it out. I've never seen any of these on my travels.

It's an otter with a fish in its mouth!  I never paid enough attention to size when collecting these, so I've ended up with everything from the miniature rabbit lurking at the back, to this otter, who's 9 inches tall!  8:)  ;D

He's rather a nice Alsation though. Are you sure he isn't a wolf?

Ah right, thanks Leni. I kept trying to figure it out but was defeated!  :blush:

.....never even said that little tiny rabbit at the back till you point him out.  He is darling, and the rest are just beautiful too. 

Love the sleek weasels too.
