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\"kudrina\"style, with goldenflowers, leaves and vines on a crimson background, makes this \"Country Bouquet\" MazurkaVase isa one-of-a-kindaddition to your collection or a great gift.

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