Art Doll "Khokhloma" Russian Nesting Doll - 5 Piece/4"

#110051-K Khokhloma Art Doll 5pc./4"

Here is a small Russian nester coming from a big tradition.

It's decorated in the style of Khokhloma tableware, which is typically adorned with bright red berries and golden embellishments. This festive style can be enjoyed year round, but makes a particularly nice accent on a holiday table or mantle. A perfect entry level nester.

Production Techniques: Hand Painting/ Decoupage. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, then delivered to the workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Our artists first hand paint the background, then apply various detailed elements, such as faces, which we print on a very thin vinyl adhesive.

Such elements are reproduced original works of art we make specifically for nesting doll design. It is the artist’s magic brush that blends the two forms of artwork together into a unified piece.

Finally we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors.

The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with “Made in Russia” mark of quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible. We can only hope you will give it a good home.
