Roseberys’ Decades of Design auction in London on March 28 features a pair of Soviet sailor models designed by Natalia Danko for the Leningrad Lomonosov Porcelain Factory. They date from 1927 and are consigned from the estate of the late Nadia Slow, who was of Russian descent.
They bear an impressed factory mark, possibly a special Jubilee mark for 1927, and the hammer and sickle seal dates from the 1918-30 period.
