Every auction needs a collectors plate. Bradford exchange Russian Legends Tianex Fairy Tale Plate This plate tells the tale of Ruslan and Ludmilla, designed by Roman Leonidovich Belousov. Another Alexander Pushkin poem that tells tale of a Russian princess (Ludmilla) who is taken by an evil wizard, with an attempted rescue from the knight, Ruslan. The back of the plate tells the story in RussianThe Bradford Exchange (as Bradex) partnered with Russia based Tianex for the first time in 1988. Together they produced these plates from 1988 through 1990. All of the plates are numbered and dated. This plate is dated 1988 and the first in the original series done that year. There were 12 pieces made in 1988, produced at Russia's Vinogradoff Porcelain Factory with a limited firing period of 175 days. A Short History Of Russian Fairy Tale Plates The beginning of the market for Russian-made collector's plates coincided with the breakup of the Soviet Union. In 1988, the first 12 plates produced formed the series RUSSIAN LEGENDS. Manufacture was accomplished in several Soviet/Russian porcelain factories, including the historic Lomonosov Porcelain Factory, and the finished products were sold by The Bradford Exchange under the Tianex imprint. They were easy to manufacture and aggressively marketed as fairly inexpensive investments to a voluminous and over eager group of buyers. The plates were marketed through mail-order subscription, and, on introduction, sold for $29-$35 plus shipping and handling. There was a pent-up demand for Russian-made goods and these colorful plates fit the bill perfectly. As production shot up, later issues came to be made in Lithuania, Belarus and even in the US. (China came last.) The plates were made with up to 17 layers of colored pigments on black porcelain and enhanced with 18kt gold. Eventually over 100 different plates came to be manufactured in a great many series. The artists, unknown in the USA, were famous Russian miniature artists from Palekh, Kholui, and Fedoskino. Each plate was given an individual "Bradex number". Sizes were mostly 7¾" (19cm) in diameter. The backs of each plate carried information in Russian (except for later issues) together with the title and a serial number. Each came in a custom-fitted cardboard (sometimes Styrofoam) box with a Certificate of Authenticity and one or two informational and promotional dual-language brochures in Russian and in English. These handouts were mostly specific to each plate.
