Russian green beans poster designed by N. Khomov (1950)
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books, pins and vintage finds from Russia.
While I’m at it - here are my own two plates, the only two that survived my wild childhood and teen years. Does anyone else have their old childhood china still? I’d love to see it!

Vintage tea box from the Soviet Union, 1950s ()
I have the very same tea box from my grandparents! I use it as my default box for loose green tea. I love it. Mine has less color left in it though, it’s almost silver. I was quite surprised to find out that it was originally yellow. :)
