Lomonosov (LFZ) Soviet Russian Porcelain Base

This is the underside view of a piece of Russian porcelain featuring the prominent red backstamp of the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory (LFZ), located in Leningrad (St. Petersburg). The mark is a stylized red monogram within a triangle, specifically a variation used during the Soviet era, likely dating from the 1970s to the 1980s. The object is composed of fine white hard-paste porcelain with a translucent glaze over the interior of the foot ring. The foot ring itself is unglazed but shows several circular brown adhesive pads or felt bumpers attached to prevent surface scratching. These pads are worn and show signs of age with some dark staining and flattened fibers. A notable condition issue is a small chip on the outer edge of the white porcelain rim, along with remnants of a paper label or adhesive residue on the white glazed surface. The construction is robust yet demonstrates the refined material quality associated with LFZ production. The red color of the stamp typically indicates higher export quality or a specific production tier within the factory's grading system. The overall shape suggests a heavy base, likely belonging to a decorative figurine, a vase, or a substantial porcelain vessel representative of Soviet industrial craftsmanship.
