The model of the “Zarema” statuette was made in 1954 in the “Ballet” series intended for replication at the Dulevo Porcelain Factory.

Zarema is the heroine of Alexander Pushkin’s poem “The Fountain of Bakhchisarai” and the ballet of the same name by BV Asafiev, a concubine from the harem of the Crimean Khan Girey. Tormented by the throes of jealousy, Zarema kills her rival – the Slavic woman Maria – and dies herself.
