Gzhel 'Foal' Porcelain Statuette (14x12x5 cm). Handmade
Gzhel is a traditional Russian folk ceramic art featuring distinctive blue-on-white painting, predominantly utilizing cobalt oxide on a white porcelain or faience background. Originating from a region of about 30 villages southeast of Moscow known for its high-quality clay, Gzhel has been produced since 1802, though the area has been a pottery hub since the 14th century.
