This an absolutely magical fairy tale collector plate!  The imagery is wonderful - a gallant man arrives on horseback blowing a trumpet and (I presume!) his love is kneeling, kept prisoner inside the castle walls.  A wizard flies above the scene on his magic carpet.

From my amateur research I have discovered that this was a collector plate issued by the Bradford Exchange in 1988.  It is the first, #1 in a series of 12 plates entitled "Russian Legends".  This series was produced in agreement with the Russian company "Tianex".  There were only 195 firing days for this series which was produced at the historic Vinogradoff Porcelain factory in Russia.  This fantastic porcelain plate (#1) depicts "Ruslan and Ludmilla" and is by
Roman Leonidovich Belousov. The plates were produced with 16-17 layers of ceramic pigments and in 18kt gold on hard fired porcelain.  They are patterned after the designs and style found on Russian lacquer boxes from the village of Palekh.

The back is written almost entirely in Russian, so I am unable to translate it.  In English reads:  "Tianex, 1988 - 6994 - Bradex No. 60-V25-1.1.  Art object, not for food use.  Precious metal pigments may be toxic."  The rest is in Russian.

Measures approximately 7 3/4 inches round.  It has hanging holes for a wire on the back.

Excellent Condition.  No chips or cracks and the graphic is clear.

Important Note:  Not for food use!  Decorator use only.

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
