This is a Russian figurine of the kneeling Prince Ivan. Prince Ivanis is looking at a Tsarevna-Frog that is holding an arrow in her hand and wearing a gold crown. The figurine has the motif of the Russian fairy tale - Tsarevna-Frog. Once upon a time there was a Tzar who had 3 sons: Peter, Vasiliy and Ivan. The Tzar decided what his sons should find brides. They took his bow. The Tzar gave each of them an arrow and instructed them to shoot the bow, the place wherever the arrow lands is the home of his bride the arrow of the eldest brother landed in a yard of the noble family. The second brother's arrow landed on the merchant's yard. Ivan's arrow landed in a swamp and a frog that was living there took it. The eldest brother got married to the noble family's daughter. The second brother married the merchant's daughter. Ivan married the frog, according to his father's order. Like all good stories this fairy tale has a happy ending... Wonderful figurine was made at the former Kornyloff Porcelain factory in St-Petersburg, Russia. The Kornilov factory, started in 1835 by two brothers of a merchant family in Petersburg, engaged skilled artists and crafts men from the Imperial, Gardner, and Popov factories. It quickly acquired a reputation for artistic excellence, and as early as 1839 won a gold medal at the Moscow ceramic exhibition. The owners spared no expense and trouble to bring their products to perfection, and for this purpose commissioned original drawings from leading artists of the day. The gorgeous colouring, rich gilding, and decorative finesse of Kornilov products soon became well known, and they were sought after by collectors. In the last decades of the nineteenth century this factory started mass production of cheap porcelain wares for export. After the October Revolution of 1917 the factory was nationalised and renamed LZFI. 5 3/4 inch. tall. Condition is excellent and I do not see any damage anywhere. It has a factory monogram on the bottom.
