The Burevestnik Porcelain Factory of Korosten, Ukraine, was founded by T.K Přibylski in 1904 and produced undecorated “white” tableware that was decaled in Poland. The factory was nationalized in 1917 and shut down in 1918. On May 1, 1944, the rehabilitated workshops were put back into operation. In the 1960s the factory became famous, among other things, for its decorative figurines and vases. Works by the factory’s leading artists – V. Yatsevich, Valetina and Nikolay Tregubov – won international diplomas. The Korosten Porcelain (Korostensky farfor) joint-stock company was founded on the basis of the factory facilities in 1994.
