Analysis

The listing features a set of Soviet-era Russian faience (majolica) teapots, likely from the Konakovo (ZiK) factory. While the hand-painted floral design is distinctive, faience is earthenware and generally less valuable than fine Russian porcelain like Lomonosov. Similar vintage sets typically sell online for $50-$80. The listing has been active for 5 months, which is a strong indicator that the $125 asking price is too high for the local market.
