Simion

Simion is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Romanian History.

This artist made hand-painted porcelain vases that tell stories of Cluj-Napoca. One vase shows the city’s history in four bands: its coat of arms in 124, medieval scenes, the 1918 Union, and 1974 city life, all marked “Simion 1974.” Another vase depicts a Transylvanian market day in folk costumes with golden floral borders and the maker’s signature.

Both were gifts for Ceaușescu. See the 1974 city-life vase up close to spot the tricolor flag and factory logo.
