    Description

    Golden Khokhloma "Strawberry Fields" Neo-Classic Vase
    This "Strawberry Fields" Neo-Classic Vase is made of the finest quality Russian Khokhloma lacquerware, and it is handcrafted today in the same 300-year old tradition created by the early icon makers to give 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.
    Adorned with vibrant red berries, golden flowers and leaves on a black background, this Neo-Classic Vase is painted in the "pod fon" style.
    With this piece is included a booklet entitled "Forests of Gold", which gives a brief history of Khokhloma Painting and its various pattern styles.
    Measurements:  6" h x 5" dia.
