Soviet Family Tea Samovar Poster

This is an original Soviet state-produced illustrated poster centered on family, warmth, and domestic unity. The composition features a large decorative samovar surrounded by a circle of brightly painted teacups, rendered in a naïve, folk-art style with bold black outlines and saturated reds, blues, and greens. Floral motifs frame the scene, reinforcing a traditional, home-centered atmosphere. Along the bottom runs the Russian proverb: “Когда семья вместе, так и душа на месте” (“When the family is together, the soul is at peace”). The artist credit reads N. Litsinskaya.

Unlike overt political propaganda, this poster emphasizes everyday Soviet values—family cohesion, hospitality, and shared ritual—using familiar symbols of tea culture and folk ornamentation. Such imagery was commonly used for cultural, educational, or domestic settings, presenting idealized scenes of harmony and togetherness rooted in traditional life.

Good vintage condition. Poster shows light edge wear, visible fold lines, and minor surface marks. Some small spots present. Colors remain bright and expressive. Text is clear and legible.
