About this piece

This Soviet-era wall plaque captures the portrait tradition of mid-twentieth-century domestic décor. The circular ceramic dish features a profile portrait of Taras Shevchenko, the celebrated Ukrainian writer and poet, rendered in crisp engraved lines and highlighted with gilt accents. A delicate scrolled border frames the central medallion, and the rim is embossed with a rhythmic decorative pattern typical of 1960s Soviet design.

At approximately 22 cm in diameter, it’s an understated but elegant presence on any wall. The piece bears the character of age — minor wear to the gilt and a darkened patina across the black glaze — which speaks to its genuine vintage provenance. A loop on the reverse accommodates secure wall hanging. This is the kind of piece that collectors of Soviet memorabilia and Slavic cultural history seek out: functional, modest in scale, and rooted in the aesthetic values of its era.
