Only the Lenin one cost more than $30. I’m aiming for antique pieces from countries that have been significant to the left or modernist movements.
I figure 50-100 pieces is the reasonable goal. I’m only able to find cheap/neat vases on Ebay, but if I find a particularly standout example then it will become its own subcollection.
