The size of the biggest doll is approx. 13 cm (approx. 5.2 inches).
This set was made by talented artists working in the very heart
of the Matryoshka region, Sergiev Posad, in Russia.
The set is of a “paunchy” (puzataya) or they are also called “light
bulb” shape and are beautifully decorated by highly skilled artists
using a number of techniques. Very pretty big pink flowers and other
patterns run across them which make them very feminine and tender.
The patterns continue to the back of the dolls as well.
As you can imagine from the quality of the dolls, there was a lot
of work and a number of high skilled techniques going into making
the dolls, starting with the intricate art of pyrography (using
a hot wire to burn designs into wood and leather). To further decorate
the dolls ecologically friendly acrylic paints were used. To complete
the whole process a special varnish was applied to create a hardwearing
finish. As a result the gorgeous set of dolls was born to make somebody
happy.
Russian dolls, as in life itself, may have their own features,
characters, colours and moods and can be truly unique to you.
Please note that there may be some bright spots on the pictures of some Russian dolls on our website, resulting from photo camera flash and lights.
The actual Russian dolls that you will receive will not have any
of those spots.
