Golden Khokhloma \"Summer Strawberries\" Gold-Ring Canisters
These Golden Khokhloma \"Summer Strawberies\" Gold-Ring Canisters are made 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 \"travka\" style, the rich combination ofcrimson berries, flowers and leaves, on agolden 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.
