Portselianove (Ukrainian: Порцелянове), formerly known as Pershotravensk (Ukrainian: Першотравенськ) is a rural settlement in Zviahel Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. Its population is 3,261 (2022 estimate).[1]

History

The settlement arose in the late 19th century, under the name Tokarivka (Ukrainian: Токарівка). In 1910, a large protest took place at the porcelain factory in Tokarivka. Its name was changed to Pershotravensk in 1934.[2]

Until 26 January 2024, Pershotravensk was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Pershotravensk became a rural settlement.[3]

On April 3, the Committee on the Organization of State Power, Local Self-government, Regional Development, and Urban Planning [uk] in the Verkhovna Rada stated their support for renaming the settlement to Portselianove.[4] On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Pershotravensk to Portselianove.[5]
