moulds, gouache paint and varnish.
This set of Russian Matryoshka dolls arrived to us directly from
the artists working in the very heart of the Matryoshka region of
Russia, Sergiev Posad. It has its unique, original and truly authentic
look and feel.
The set is of a “paunchy” (puzataya) or they are also called “light
bulb” shape and has the most beautiful and warm combination of colours.
There are juicy red strawberries pictured in the center of the dolls
and there are other berries, leaves and patterns. The head is beautifully
decorated, and the faces are very pretty. The dolls have very warm
feel to them as the colours and patterns used bring out the warmth
of the wood.
As all our Russian dolls are hand painted by artists there may be variations
and differences between those pictured on our website and the ones
you will receive. Every doll is unique as artists tend to add something
different to each and every doll set they paint. That’s why Russian
dolls are somehow a reflection of a mood of the artist painting
it in that particular moment. Russian dolls, as in life itself, may
have their own features, characters, colours and moods and can be
truly unique to you.
All our Russian dolls are hollow inside (apart from the last,
smallest doll of each set), they all open in half and fit inside
each other.
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.
