I am repostig this as it said my downloads were to large so here we go again. Please check for post #2 as well.
Hi all,
I am new and it is so wonderful to find this site. I am at a loss on how to get info on this set. I have tried everything I could think of. I think it may be Russian or Czech, etc. It is two colors, plate is bone and cup is light blue. I was wondering if anyone could help? I will post several pics. I will post a second set of pics in another post. Thank you so much for any info.

I think I finally found that this may be Bulgarian or similar.

Can you post pics of the hallmarks on the bottom of the cup or saucer.

Ironlord there is a second post with more information....
the wording on picture 73 is Russian....and interpreted into English is "Korosten' china plant by them f e Dzerzhinskiy"
Korosten is in the Zhitomir region of the Ukraine
Founded 1903. Real name is " Korosten Porcelain Factory named after Dzerzhinsky" Dzerzhinsky was a huge supporter of Stalin.
Are you wanting to sell or find out the value?
If noone posts more info I will try and get more for you...have several Russian friends (I have 2 adopted children from Siberia, Russia and know enough Russian to get by there!).

And KC found us searching for a family heirloom. lucky us we have him now.... correction on Demitasse. that is a full cup for tea. Demitasse mean's half cup.

Well I am so thrilled to see repsonses so quickly! Thank you so much.
KC, sounds like I am very fortunate you recently joined. And thank you for the info. I am looking to see if these have any history, and also value of course. I don't know about selling as I like them an awful lot. I have a set of 6.
D&b, I believe these are called demitasse cups as they are very small. I did look up definition and it says cup for serving a strong black coffee after dinner or refers to the coffee itself.
Ironclord, I posted another set of pics in another post.
They may just be a mass produced brand, but thats ok. I love learning about other cultures so I find this exciting anyways.
Again thank you so much.

A picture does not alway's define the size. as I see them they appear to be full size.
-
I meant half size. Demitasse is french for half size
-
yes D&B, they do actually look full size in pics. Maybe I should have held one in hand for reference...lol. They are so delicate. I have been doing a little looking on site and seems alot of these factory items were hand painted. Maybe so as I see alot of tiny imperfections that you wouldnt notice unless examining closely. I haven't found a website yet...still looking. I can't wait to get more info.

I forgot to mention that box they came in seemed to have space for another or other items. I wonder if it would be possible to find out what is missing? I am going to assume a small pot of some sort. Would love to get hold of whatever goes with it.
