Khokhloma Wood Bowl ~ Vintage

Original price was: CAD $40.00.Current price is: CAD $30.00.

The Khokhloma Wood Bowl painting style is named for the village of Khokhloma in Russia. Where it first appeared in the second half of the 17th century. The production of painted dishes in Khokhloma is first mentioned in 1659.

The handicraft owes its origin to the Old Believers, who, fleeing from persecutions of officials, took refuge in local woods. Even earlier, however, local villagers had experience in making tableware from soft woods. Among the schismatics there were Orthodox Icon painters, who taught local craftsmen the special technique of painting wood in a golden colour without the use of genuine real gold.

Time for more dips into my vintage treasures. You will receive 1 random Slavic altar bowl. I have quite the collection of these beautiful pieces & to keep it interesting I thought we could lower the price & I would send you a random one.

You will receive 1 random vintage bowl ~ approx 2-5 inches wide
