| Russian dolls, 3 in 1 set. The height of the main
doll is 7.5 cm (3’), made from the Linden tree.
Since olden times, Russian families have always welcomed their
guests with ‘bread and salt’, which are the traditional Slavic symbols
of prosperity and hospitality. Consequently, customs and rituals
connected with bread are very popular in Russia and these little
Russian dolls represent those ancient traditions. The faces are
very pretty, with long eyelashes and small mouths with full lips.
The long braids in the girl’s hair and the traditional Russian patterns
on the dresses and towels make them truly authentic.
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.
