VINTAGE HANDPAINTED HANDCARVED WOODEN BOWL FROM RUSSIA KHOHLOMA HOHLOMA DESIGN
Gorgeous handcarved and handpainted small bowl. Has small lip edge. Khokhloma (Hohloma) design is distinctive from others that mail colors are only black and gold with some red. Made in 70-80th.
Golden Khokhloma is a bright phenomenon of Russian folk arts. The khokhloma handicraft became to be known as early as the XVII century in Nizhegorodsky region. It received the appellation of khokhloma art from one of the villages which grew to become a trading post to which the local craftsmen brought their wares for sale.
Traditionally khokhloma items were produced in the monasteries and were designed primarily for the Zhar's Court. When the highly-glazed pottery and metal ware was marketed, unusual painting of items from Semyonov guaranteed their popularity and sales.
The technology of producing items with khokhloma painting is the following: wood is preliminarily kept on the air within a year; then a turner makes items of different shapes; each item is covered by linseed oil, aluminum powder, then is painted and lacquered.
Measures about 5.5" round x 2".
Good vintage condition. Has small chip as seen in a picture.
PHOTO NOTE: It is possible for items to appear slightly different in shade or color on different computer monitors. If you are unsure about a color or tone, please ASK.
