Absolutely stunning plate. The detail is exquisite. I rcvd “The Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs,” inspired by the poem by Alexander Pushkin. There is an english version of the story with it. On the back of the plate is Russian and thr details of the plate. I am going to purchase more!

I am a collector of certain Slavic items. I have truly never had better customer service than the Witch. She was extremely helpful, and I am so happy with my new plates. The Malachite Maid with the Stone Flower and Ivan and the Firebird. ♥️
