Along with mass-produced sculptures, such as Stolbova鈥檚 鈥楶reschoolers鈥� series, this exhibition provides the first showing of unique vases by Anna Efimova which picture children from the 1930s 鈥� 1940s. Contemporary porcelain pieces are as always on view, bringing the total number of exhibits on display to around 170.
