Vintage ceramic lambik "Lamb" - Ukrainian majolica (Poltava region)

Vintage ceramic lembik "Baranets" — Ukrainian majolica, an original work of art, made at the Opishnyansk plant "Art Ceramic" (Poltava region) in the 1970s–1980s.

An exclusive collector's item and an authentic element of decor — a vintage ceramic shtof (lembik) in the shape of a ram. The product embodies the best traditions of Ukrainian folk pottery and zoomorphic ceramics of the mid-20th century. In Ukrainian culture, a ram is traditionally considered a symbol of well-being, comfort, strength and family protection.

Features of design and technique:
•Material: High-quality red clay, covered with a thick, glossy chocolate-brown glaze (glaze) with the effect of noble shine.
•Decor: The body of the figurine is decorated with textured relief embossing, which skillfully imitates thick wool. The product is given special expressiveness by massive twisted horns and an elegant handle and spout, which harmoniously complete the silhouette.
•Functionality: The vessel is fully suitable for use in its direct function (for serving and storing strong drinks, wine or liqueurs), and will also become a luxurious accent in an interior in the ethno, rustic or modern style.
• Marking: The body of the product has a clear authentic factory mark of the factory in the form of a stylized sun, imprinted in raw clay before firing.
•Authorship of the form: Similar zoomorphic plastic was created according to the models of outstanding Opishnyan master artists (such as Ivan Klymko, Vasyl Omelyanenko or Trokhym Demchenko).

•Period of creation: 1960–1970s (Ukrainian SSR).
•Approximate dimensions: 25 cm (length) × 22 cm (height).
