Ivan Ivanovich Riznich (1908-1998) was a porcelain painter and sculptor. He graduated from the Pavlovsk Art School in 1926 and in the same year joined the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory. From 1927, Riznich became known for his designs depicting animals and landscapes. He worked for the factory as a painter and modeller until 1965 and again from 1975 until 1998.
