Thank you Sigrid for your interesting and informative site. I have looked for 2 days online for information and had no luck at finding help on a recent purchase. I have purchased 2 bowls with the Budi mark, underneath in a curved shape – ‘Made in USSR’, below that 50 and the other 36. They are creamy-white, appear to be new, with a beautiful, colored ’embroidery’ and flowers pattern around the outside top rims, extending half way down the outside. The top, inside, has the same ’embroidery’ pattern extending about 1 inch from the top, flower pattern in the center. If you would be so kind, perhaps you could give me some incite into what I have found so far from their beginning, here in Dallas, Texas. I have developed a love for antique,vintage, beautifully interesting household items. Thank you so much!! Kendra
