DANKO (Danko-Alexeenko) Natalia Yakovlevna (1892-1942), sculptor-ceramist. Living in St. Petersburg from 1908, she studied in workshops of M.L. Dillon and L.V. Shervud. From 1909 she worked in the workshop of sculptor V.V. Kuznetsov. She decorated Moscow and Petersburg houses, as well as international exhibition pavilions. In 1914 she began working at the Imperial Porcelain Factory, which became the State Porcelain Factory in 1917, and which she came to direct from 1919 until 1942 (see Lomonosov Porcelain Factory). She made over 300 polychrome porcelain groups, figures, vases, and so-called agitation porcelain (statuettes such as Partisan in March, Mariner with a Flag, Fortune-teller, Anna Akhmatova). Her sister, artist E.Y. Danko (1898-1942), painted the majority of her works.
