Huge lion! A very beautiful and original work of the Honored Master of Folk Art of the Ukrainian SSR, the most famous Soviet and Ukrainian potter, the oldest potter of the Poltava Omelyanenko Vasily Onufrievich (August 3, 1925 - January 28, 2021).

An incomparable huge monumental sculpture of a handsome lion, made in the form of a traditional Ukrainian kumanets from majolica, glazed ceramics. 1950-1960

Great copy for the collection!

The sculpture is in excellent collectible condition with no cracks or signs of restoration. There are a few chips on the glaze and minor abrasions on the paint layer. Without cover.

Height 53 cm, length 43 cm.

At the bottom of the sculpture, under the glaze with a chisel in the test, there is the author's mark of the master, the mark of the Opishnia factory "Artistic Ceramics".

The sculpture is voluminous, massive, heavy.

The creator has many awards and regalia in his arsenal, including the title of Honored Master of Folk Art, a member of the National Union of Folk Art Masters and the National Union of Artists. The magnificent sculptural images of Vasily Omelianenko undoubtedly confirm the well-deserved title of "clay sorcerer".

He himself and his works took part in numerous exhibitions and competitions, both in Ukraine and abroad: in Belgium, Canada, Japan, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Poland, USA, Norway, Great Britain and other countries of the world.

In 1971 he became a member of the CHU. He worked in the field of arts and crafts (ceramics).

Member of the National Union of Masters of Folk Art of Ukraine from 1998.

He was a member of the Supervisory Board of the National Museum-Reserve of Ukrainian Pottery in Opishna.

Awards

- Honored Master of Folk Art of the Ukrainian SSR (1976)

-Daniil Shcherbakovsky Prize (1995)

-State Prize of Ukraine named after Taras Shevchenko (1999) - for the cycles of works of poshnensky ceramics

At the age of 95, the heart of the outstanding Ukrainian potter Vasily Onufrievich Omelyanenko stopped. The contribution of the master of clay toys and zoomorphic sculpture to the development of folk art crafts is invaluable for Ukraine. Now each of his surviving works is just worth its weight in gold!

The master's work was mainly dominated by sculptural images of people, lions, rams, bulls, roosters, goats, both in the form of large cumans and small whistles.
