Now the sculpture manufacturing techniques practically didn't change: all it is made only manually of "solid" and "soft" porcelain, the list is carried out also manually by podglazurny and nadglazurny paints. The most part of a collection is created by famous sculptors-animal painters B. Vorobyov, I.Riznich, P. Veselov and includes amusing figures of domestic wild animals, various breeds of dog and bird species, the exotic animals living in the Polar region and in the hot African savanna.
