Raised floral patterns give each piece a pleasant texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-piece ceramic set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e USSR (probably Vasylkiv Majolica Factory, Ukraine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s-1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed ceramic \/ majolica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich brown \/ caramel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJug:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anthropomorphic jug (kumanets) with a fixed neck shaped like a stylized head, open top, curved spout and decorative handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching open-top textured cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSugar Bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e With lid and two small handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed, in very good vintage condition.

Majolica of this style belongs to a long Ukrainian ceramic tradition. The set works as a display on a kitchen shelf or a dresser. A set of this kind brings some of the warmth of Ukrainian folk ceramics into a modern kitchen. The jug, cup and sugar bowl share the same glaze and relief, so they read as one matching group when displayed together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 anthropomorphic jug (open top)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 sugar bowl with lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 textured cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
