Winter Paintings on Russian Lacquer Boxes
Dazzling, bright white snow seen on an intense black background is magnificent on these winter themed lacquer boxes. They are perfect for gifts around the winter holidays, and as an added bonus, most of them have a rich red interior.
What would fit perfectly in there is our new collection of winter fun miniature nesting dolls! They are the tiniest 5-piece nesting dolls ever, at about 1 1/4" high!
Russians have been miniature painting on lacquer boxes, nesting dolls, and all sorts of other stuff for generations using the same techniques as their ancestors. For the finest detail, they often make their own brushes, containing just one hair.
These winter scene lacquer boxes are popular for many reasons, one major reason though, is an obvious one... snow is amazingly beautiful, and seeing it in a miniature painting on a shiny black box is a cool thing!
