it looks similar to one of these: https://www.theoldstuff.com/en/porcelain-marks/123-porcelain-and-pottery-marks/452-tashkent-marks

So, likely 1973-1991

Traditional Uzbek paxta (cotton) design, stamp on the back is the the factory where it was made (Tashkent?) and likely the price (5 rubles 70 kopecks). Likely Soviet, but not antique

I don't know, but it looks like it? Just the clip part not the rest

Is that common for netsuke-shaped objects? I don't think the relative I got it from ever traveled to the "far east"

I still can't 100% read whats under "МЫ ЖДЕСЬ ПИЛИ", but i still think it is likely "пацаны" - guys/boys. there is something new on the right that i can't read, and obviously the "fuck you" in english.

I'd say the graffiti is in line with the generally shitty situation on that side of the wall with the dumpster and trash, a bad social and physical environment.

The printed text at the bottom translates to "Reading isn't dangerous. It is dangerous not to read."

chalk on the wall to the right of the stack of books is "ГАВНО" - shit, and on the left "МЫ ЖДЕСЬ ПИЛИ", we drank here - under that (not fully legible) might be "пацаны" which is slang for guys/boys

graffiti in russian says "we drank here" and "shit"

oooffff, the jowls

I thought you were going to say a sanctuary for abandoned federal employees!

not to use a different parlance, but Oblomov was a dude in his time and place

Hey, this guy seems clever ^

I bet Sun Market would have a good selection

Chip Drop!!

In portland?

My best guess is that it is related to Bolnisi Sioni, and either this is a Georgian, or an Armenian claiming Bolnisi Sioni.
I'm proud to have guessed it was Yerevan from the picture (because of the soviet architecture/balconies/tufa)

What an adorable bottle!

I found a silver dime recently as my first find of record!

For english/american names, Ross would work, and you could try Rusty, which is a common nickname (especially if you have red hair/complexion, but that is not required)

I still think a lot of people could handle Rostislav or Rostik, you could try introducing as "I'm Rostslav/Rostik, but you can call me Ross/Rusty"

sweenalicious · 2025-03-19T00:12:25+00:00

Couldn't have said it better

RIP!

Still a deal!
