Vyatka Dolls

Matryoshka of Vyatka is the most northern Russian matryoshka. It portrays a blue eyed girl from the North with a gentle bashful smile. The girl's face is so charming that it attracts everyone. The painted dolls of Vyatka became especially original in the 1960s, when the matryoshkas were painted not only by aniline dyes but inlaid with straw. Then the straw is covered by oil lacquer. We are happy to have dolls from both of the factories in the region specializing in this style.
