I live in the Chicago area but married a Bulgarian woman from Varna. I was attracted to the looks and the personality and married for the cooking.
Just over a quarter of a bowl left of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Other honoring Ukraine
Not sure what this says…
