For sale is a superb porcelain figurine made in the Soviet Union by the Armfarfor porcelain factory in Yerevan (the capital) in Armenia in the late 1940's or maybe very early 50s. The factory was founded in about 1948 but I cannot find out much information about it due to the language barrier. The figurine reminds me a bit of the Natalia Danko pieces made by the Lomonosov factory. Either way it is a superb figurine perfect for this period of Russian porcelain. It depicts a Russian lady with a sheep or lamb. Likely an Uzbek lady since she is wearing that cap in her hair maybe a shepherdess or something. The figurine is in perfect condition but is really dirty which is easily cleaned if need be. There is a tiny bit of gold wear and she has a stray black paint mark near her chin from the making which is probably why she is denoted as being third quality! The figure is marked underneath with their green mark - first the letters standing for porcelain factory and underneath Erevan plus the green number 3c for the quality and a 44 or yy or something as well as a green dot near the edge. The figurine is 5 inches tall, 4.25 inches wide and 4 inches deep.
