Property of a lady

Danko, Natalia Yakovlevna (1892-1942) (Georgian)
A figurative female mug (c. 1930)
With identifying marks to base

Natalia Danko was the most important Georgian artist specialising in figurative sculpture and ceramic. An article reviewing the Soviet porcelain exhibition in 1926 recorded that "N. Danko is predominant in this field." Born in Tbilisi, Natalia Danko studied at the Stroganov School of Art, and later at Vilnius under the sculptor Leonid Schervud. Her work was frequently painted by her sister, Elena Danko (1898-1942). She had personal exhibitions in Leningrad in 1929, 1932, and 1946.
