Description
Very mysterious mug of the late 40's - 50's. Many varieties, but they all share the shape, clean bedplate unmarked, polished bottom. Differ in the details - writing volume, handle shape, geometric dimensions. The mug can be with or without stamp field. Looking at the quality of glass and cast them bought abroad due to the fact that our plants were destroyed during the war. The mugs are checked and branded in different cities. After all, neither in Arkhangelsk, neither Kirov nor Makhachkala glassworks was not. Archangel, Donetsk, Leningrad, Makhachkala, Kirov - this probably is not a complete list of places branding.
Part of the mugs were unbranded, not always have time to perform it. Denomination in Cyrillic can say that the mugs are not just bought abroad, bat ordered there. And for the Baltic could be ordered with a Latin inscription, and for everyone else - in Cyrillic. Can often purchase, often made at the Soviet factories using captured forms. But this is only a guess.
Can be all of these types of mugs to name the type of "Stalin's empire".
Clear glass, mold precision, the presence in the designation of the volume of the letters L, duplication and lack of loading line stamp manufacturer suggests that mug may be imported (more likely, despite the quality of the glass and back-filling line), or made on import (receipted by reparations after the Second World War) line at the Artiomovskiy Glass plant. This is indicated by the number and the year of the verification stamp.
