My Story
BITAEMO (Welcome) to my website! I, Stella Malanowich, owner and operator of SRM Ukrainian Products Ltd., I have had 45 years of experience in the ceramic industry.
Through the years as a hobbiest, it has become an addiction of pouring greenware, firing, glazing, decalling, and staining ceramic items. I have also expanded into transferring beautiful Ukrainian designs onto ceramic, porcelain and glassware. These beautiful designs were adapted from the exquisite colourful cross-stitch & embroidery patterns from the many regions of Ukraine.
In 2004 an opportunity arose of purchasing Diana May Clay Ukrainian Ceramics Ltd. , the largest Ukrainian Ceramic Manufacturer in North America, located at Theodore along the Yellowhead Hwy. Ceramics were sold locally, nationally and internationally. Upon the purchase, the business was renamed as Diana May 2004 Ltd. Through the years we had displayed and sold our items at many festivals, Ukrainian Competitions, Shows, Celebrations and special events. I have also enjoyed meeting so many interesting Ukrainian people and people of many diverse Nationalities.
In 2010 Diana May 2004 Ltd. had been sold.
In 2016 through missing the art, I began building a small business on our farm South East of Canora, SK, where my husband Harvey and I live.
Many of the pieces you see are unique, modern, and one of a kind. I am able to refurbish previously owned pieces of new and old items, or duplicate items brought in by my clients. I can also fill special requests of bulk orders, such as shot glasses, mugs, steins, etc,. with artwork supplied by the purchaser that makes unique gifts or party favors. Presently, I have a team assisting me with transferring designs onto items.
My Business includes Ukrainian Products such as Ceramics, Glassware, Eggs, Matrushka (Nesting) Dolls, Picture Frames, Books, Artwork, Giftware and a number of non-ukrainian items.
