This Golden Khokhloma \"Winterberry\" Cookie/Cracker Barrel ismade of the finest quality Russian Khokhloma lacquerware. These canisters are handcrafted today in the same 300-year old tradition created by the early icon makers to give each piece the illusion of gold. The process includes six steps: (1) the linden wood is shaped; (2) painted with a clay primer and baked; (3) rubbed with oil and air-dried; (4) rolled in powdered aluminum and baked (years ago they used tin); (5) the artwork pattern is painted; (6) 3 coats of hot lacquer are applied, and any of the pattern left silver by the artist will turn to the beautiful golden color.

Hand-painted in the \"pod fon\" style, the rich combination of berries and leaves, on a cinnabar background, will bring a\"touch of country\"to yourhome.

With thisset is included a booklet entitled \"Forests of Gold\", which gives a brief history of Khokhloma Painting and its various pattern styles.

Dimensions: 10\"h. x 7\" dia.
