| For this Russian dolls set, the five little children pictured tell their own
unique story and represent different stages of childhood behaviour.
The largest doll has been busy gathering fruit and is eager to share
her bounty with others. The second largest has some juicy oranges
and, while happy to show it off, we get the impression that she
would much rather eat them all alone. The third has a ripe pear
and is just proud to have contributed something to the table, while
the fourth smallest has clearly been daydreaming about other things
and has come away with nothing. What about the fifth and final doll?
Well, from the look on her face you can see that she really enjoyed
eating her fruit, whatever it was!
This is a 15cm, 5 piece set, which has been exquisitely made and
then hand painted using tempera, acrylic and watercolours before
receiving a matt varnish.
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 pictures of
the 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.
