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.
