Abstract

This article examines a small but significant group of porcelain and faience objects produced in the territories of Right-Bank Ukraine, particularly in Volhynia and Galicia, from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. These objects include pans, stewpans, crucibles, braziers, and related deep round vessels used for cooking, heating, and serving food. Although such items are of considerable interest to collectors and museum specialists, they have not previously been systematised as a separate typological group within the history of Ukrainian porcelain and faience. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to clarify the formal, functional, decorative, and typological characteristics of these rarely preserved ceramic forms and to introduce them more precisely into the scholarly discourse of decorative and applied arts. The aim of the study is to reveal the evolution of round cooking and heating forms in the porcelain and faience production of the ethnic Ukrainian lands from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. The research focuses on the works of the Korets Porcelain and Faience Manufactory, the Baranivka Porcelain Factory, and the faience production of Glynsko in Galicia. The study applies axiological, ontological, historical-genetic, comparative, cultural, typological, formal-stylistic, and arthistorical methods. The article identifies the main formal variants of this group: ring-shaped heating pans with lids, saucepan-braziers with hollow side handles, vessels with sculptural handles in the form of animals, mushrooms, or pineapples, and multi-portion soup vessels resembling cooking pots. The analysis demonstrates that this segment of Ukrainian porcelain and faience is represented by fewer than a dozen known examples, from which five or six principal forms can be distinguished. The results confirm the uniqueness of these objects as part of the national heritage of decorative and applied arts and show their connection with European ceramic traditions, local manufacturing practices, and the changing culture of food preparation and serving.
