Description
In a story very similar to "The Gingerbread Man", the Russian version is a story about a freshly baked roll (Kolobok) who travels through the forest saying "Don't eat me", to those who cross his path. He eventually meets up with the Red Fox, who consumes the roll after gaining its trust. Hand painted in St. Petersburg. Very colorful and delightful.
Interestingly, the concept of the nesting doll came from China in the 19th century. They evolved from the invention of the nested box, the first dolls were thinly turned and grotesquely lacquered with the smallest doll being a grain of rice. The art went west and Russia who made 70 of them out of a Lime Tree and displayed them at the World's Fair in Paris in the 1920's. Factories opened in Germany and Poland, the Russian and Polish thrived. Russia took their doll making to an art form while Poland enjoyed them as toys.
This set is made primarily from silver birch which is seasoned for a number of years before being cut and painted. Each doll is hand painted using environmentally friendly paint and coated in 2 layers of transparent varnish both sprayed and dipped. The result is a glossy and durable surface.
Small parts, not for children under 3 years.
