The height of the main Russian doll in this set is approximately 15 cm (6’), hand
painted onto Linden wood moulds with a varnish finish.
This set of 5 Russian dolls pictures a traditional children fairy
tale “Repka” (Giant Turnip), teaching us about team work, how the
whole family needed to get together (grandfather, grandmother, granddaughter,
a dog, a cat and even a little mouse) to pull out the giant turnip.
A story where every single member of the team is important, even
the little mouse, without which they cannot complete the task. This
is a great Russian doll set to teach children a traditional folk
story. The set is very colourful and bright, the dolls’ faces are
beautiful, and the back of the set also has a nice pattern in big
daisies.
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.
