Fish-shaped CARAFE _ 545

A vintage rust brown faience fish-shaped jug from the Polonne Porcelain Factory (Ukraine, former USSR). Originally designed as a decanter or carafe, it also works beautifully as a pitcher or sculptural vase. Part of the iconic "Polonne fish" series, now prized collectibles from the Soviet-era ceramic tradition.
Although not Hungarian in origin, these faience fish vessels spread widely through socialist-era trade across the Eastern Bloc, becoming beloved and familiar objects in many Hungarian homes. Today, they are cherished as nostalgic symbols of a shared regional past and collective memory.
